Model Quality in the Context of Model-Driven Development

Ida Solheim, Tor Neple

2006

Abstract

Model-Driven Development (MDD) poses new quality requirements to models. This paper presents these requirements by specializing a generic framework for model quality. Of particular interest are transformability and maintainability, two main quality criteria for models to be used in MDD. These two are decomposed into quality criteria that can be measured and evaluated. Another pertinent discussion item is the positive implication of MDD-related tools, both on the models in particular and on the success of the MDD process.
