A Tool-Supported Methodology for Validation and Refinement of Early-Stage Domain Models

摘要: Model-driven engineering (MDE) promotes automated model transformations along the entire development process. Guaranteeing quality of early models is essential for a successful application MDE techniques and related tool-supported refinements. Do these properly reflect requirements elicited from owners problem domain? Ultimately, this question needs to be asked domain experts. The that gap exists between respective backgrounds modeling experts developers cannot show simply ask them whether it correct with respect they had in mind. To facilitate their interaction make such validation more systematic, we propose methodology tool derive set customizable questionnaires expressed natural language each validated. Unexpected answers by help identify those portions requiring deeper attention. We illustrate current status developed MOTHIA, which can handle UML Use Case, Class, Activity diagrams. assess MOTHIA effectiveness reducing experts, detecting faults on European Project CHOReOS.
