Abstract

Software modeling, as used in Model-Driven Engineering (MDE), is the process of abstracting software systems using formal or informal notations to help with communication, analysis, and design. This study looks into the difficulties Bangladesh’s software industry faces while using model-based engineering, or system modeling. A survey of several companies in Bangladesh was carried out to get opinions from professionals such as software developers, project managers, test engineers, and architects. The data gathering instrument utilized was Google Forms, and the questionnaire’s design was informed by extant literature. Results show that about 75.1% of respondents use system modeling in their projects, and 56.3% of them say it helps to streamline project development. Strong internal consistency among survey items pertaining to system modeling methodologies is indicated by a high Cronbach’s alpha value (0.93007), which suggests growing adoption among software enterprises in Bangladesh. Response analysis revealed trends and patterns that were represented through data quantification. Based on these results, the paper offers suggestions for resolving these problems and advancing more comprehensive system modeling methodologies. The steps that have been proposed to address the challenges in Model-Driven Engineering (MDE) include conducting in-depth research to determine the underlying causes of the problems, putting scalability techniques into practice, maintaining documentation standards, and setting up training sessions, seminars, and workshops. Such measures have the potential to increase the efficacy of resolving the problems.
