Modelling language quality evaluation in model-driven information systems engineering: A roadmap

A framework for evaluating the quality of modelling languages in MDE environments A framework for evaluating the quality of modelling languages in MDE environments

“…It seems that researchers have not yet addressed these problems satisfactorily 13 . Therefore, we consider it necessary to list the open challenges and to define (in a greater depth) the research roadmap proposed in (Giraldo et al, 2015a) in order to cover these issues comprehensively. Thus, in Section 2.4 we show a real scenario in which quality issues associated to the Sections 2.3.2 and 2.3.2 are depicted.…”

“…These include the subjectivity of the practitioners, the misalignment between the real application in model-driven scenarios and the research effort required, and the implications that quality in model-driven scenarios must be considered as part of an integral quality evaluation process. This chapter builds upon previous works by the authors (Giraldo et al, , 2015a and makes the following contributions:…”

“…In (Giraldo et al, 2015a), we presented the preliminary results of a literature review. This search is currently ongoing.…”

“…However, reports about the adoption of the MDE initiatives indicate that MDE itself possesses open questions that affect its applicability, especially in organizational contexts. Reference (Giraldo et al, 2015a) previously reported these gaps and open challenges, based on the perceived information from industrial and academic evidence.…”

“…We conducted some systematic literature reviews that revealed the trends and the discrepancies in the area of model and modelling language quality evaluation (Giraldo et al, , 2015a. More importantly, we found that the industrial practice of MDE has some characteristics that pose open challenges to current modelling language evaluation methods.…”
