“…In contrast to [AT06], [FHKS18] and [GKC07], we propose scenario patterns to guide developers in constructing dynamic scenarios in order to build test cases. In [BMSJ15], the authors propose a catalog of anti-patterns that analyze a typical constraint interaction that cause correctness or a quality problem in UML class models and suggest possible repairs. Our catalogue does not contain anti-patterns, however, negative test cases can be constructed.…”

Model validation and verification are crucial tasks in model-driven software engineering. For checking behavioral model properties, operation call sequences, i.e., dynamic scenarios, can be used, and developers must identify relevant scenarios. Dependent on the model under consideration, many different dynamic scenarios must be taken into account for comprehensive model testing, and it is a challenging task to identify them. In order to give advice and to develop guidelines for constructing dynamic scenarios, we assemble a catalogue of different scenario patterns that can be applied in all models. We explain the catalogue applicability through a collection of exemplary models and validate our proposal through a study conducted with UML and OCL experts.

Software development guidelines are a set of rules which can help improve the quality of software. These rules are defined on the basis of experience gained by the software development community over time. This paper discusses a set of design guidelines for model-based development of complex real-time embedded software systems. To be precise, we propose nine design conventions, three design patterns and thirteen antipatterns for developing UML-RT models. These guidelines have been identified based on our analysis of around 100 UML-RT models from industry and academia. Most of the guidelines are explained with the help of examples, and standard templates from the current state of the art are used for documenting the design rules.

“…Not surprisingly, DSMLs for specifying patterns provide similar role-binding approaches to describe how a pattern is applied in a specific context [4]. In RBML, patterns are specified in Structural Pattern Specifications while instances of patterns are defined in UML class diagrams.…”

AbstractDesign patterns are used pervasively in object-oriented software development. They describe general solutions for recurring problems in software design. In most cases, design patterns are applied at the model level. The popularity of Model-Driven (Software) Engineering has increased the development of meta-models for Domain Specific Languages, even at the meta-model level, design patterns can and are used. For instance, the company Altran has discovered some design patterns in meta-models as well as in associated syntax, and transformation artifacts of their domain specific languages. Unfortunately, the discovered patterns can not be easily (re)used because of the lack of mechanisms to specify and apply design patterns in the existing language engineering workbenches. This thesis aims at exploring mechanisms for pattern specification and application in metamodels in Ecore. In order to do so, we first analyzed and summarized the state-of-the-art approaches and tooling for specifying and/or applying design patterns. Then, we extended an existing tool, DSL-tao, to assist the development of DSLs in Altran.Pattern Specification and Application in meta-models in Ecore iii AcknowledgmentsI have been studying in Software Engineering and Technology (SET) group for a long time. Starting from the courses Generic Language Technology and Software Evolution to the SET Seminar and Capita Selecta, and finally my graduation project, I own many thanks to a lot of people. My deepest gratitude goes first and foremost to Prof. Mark van den Brand, my supervisor, for providing me the opportunities to work on interesting topics during the Capita Selecta as well as this graduation project and for his insightful guidance, deep discussions and constant encouragement, especially for his understanding and advise during my difficult times.I would like to express my heartfelt thanks to...
