On the Use of Model Checking in Verification of Evolving Agile Software Frameworks: An Exploratory Case Study

Abstract
Evolution is a basic fact of software life. Domain-specific agile software frameworks are key to modern enterprise information systems (EIS). We propose a model checking approach to formal verification of agile frameworks that evolve continuously. The results obtained can be used to justify the maintenance activities in software evolution and identify important but implicit assumptions about the application domain of the framework. An industrially relevant exploratory case study is conducted to validate our hypothesis and proactively direct future research.
