Paper Abstract:
|
Model transformation approach allows us to develop automatic and flexible solutions for the software
evolution. Application of model transformation concepts was shown on a case study of a generic
framework for traceability in object-oriented designs. Traceability analysis in the framework is based
on discovering traceability relationships among model elements and identifying dependency areas for
given initial elements. The analysis is controlled by a set of rules that should be easily modified according
to the project notation, application domain, etc. Three transformations within the framework
were considered: the input transformation of any model to the internal format, the traceability analysis
generating a dependency area for a given model, and the output transformation of the resulting dependency
area. They can be realized as model-to-model transformations with respect to their metamodels
and in accordance to the independently specified transformation rules. The language and tools
of the QVT standard proposed by the OMG were applied in the input and output transformations. In
the remaining transformation, traceability rules were defined as automata with transitions labeled with
conditions and actions. |
