Abstract:
In this paper, we discuss model-to-model comparison techniques that can be used to assist with model-tomodel transformation testing. Using an existing real-world model transformation, we illustrate and qualitatively evaluate the comparison techniques, highlighting the associated strengths and weaknesses of each in the context of transformation testing.
