“…This type of transformations uses one (or more) source model to generate different kinds of model(s) in different languages and on different levels of abstraction. M2M transformation approaches can be divided into three paradigms based on their focus (Kahani et al 2018;Prakash et al 2006):…”

Context: Measuring the Software Development Process (SDP) supports organizations in their endeavor to understand, manage, and improve their development processes and projects. In the last decades, the SDP has evolved to meet the market needs and keep abreast of modern technologies and infrastructures. These changes in the development processes have increased the importance of the measurement and caused changes in the measurement process and the used measures. Objective: This work aims to develop a solution to support the measurement activities throughout the process lifecycle. Method: Study the current state of the art to identify existing gaps. Then, propose a solution to support the process measurement throughout the SDP lifecycle. Results: The proposed solution consists of two main components: (i) Measurement lifecycle, which defines the measurement activities throughout the SDP lifecycle, (ii) Measurement definition metamodel (MDMM), which supports the measurement lifecycle and its integration into the process lifecycle. Conclusion: This proposal allows organizations to define, manage, and improve their processes; the proposed information model supports the unification of the measurement concepts and vocabulary. The defined measurement lifecycle provides a comprehensive guide for the organizations to establish the measurement objectives and carry out the necessary activities to achieve them. The proposed MDMM supports and guides the engineers in the complete and operational definition of the measurement concepts.

The Model Driven Architecture (MDA) has been widely used as a paradigm in software development. This paper presents an overview on the current research in the Model Driven Architecture. We analyze the key concepts of the MDA by illustrative examples, explore the existing approaches and tools that support model transformation -the essential part of the MDA, and classify these methods based on a multidimensional scheme. Furthermore, this paper summarizes the current technical achievements of model transformation techniques in software development at different abstraction levels of a system.

“…There are different methods for model transformations in MDA. In literature, the model-to-model transformation languages of model-driven engineering (MDE) have been evaluated (Jouault and Kurtev, 2007), as well as model transformation approaches (Czarnecki and Helsen, 2003;Prakash et al, 2006). A known model transformation language is the query/view/transformation (QVT) developed by OMG.…”

Purpose -This paper aims to present how iterative round-trip modelling between two different business process modelling tools can be enabled on a conceptual level. Iterative round-trip modelling addresses model transformations between high-level business and executable process models, and how to maintain these transformations in change time. Currently, the development of these process models is supported by different tools. To the authors' best knowledge, no coherent collaborative tool environment exists that supports iterative round-trip modelling. Design/methodology/approach -This paper is primarily based on a literature review of state-of-the-art business to IT transformations regarding business process modelling. The architecture of integrated information systems (ARIS) and Cordys tools are used as an example case in this research. ARIS is a business process analysis (BPA) tool suited for analyzing and designing business processes, while the execution and monitoring of these processes is allowed by Cordys, a business process management suite (BPMS). The theory is used for transforming between ARIS event-driven process chains from the business perspective and business process modelling notation in Cordys from the IT perspective. Findings -A conceptual framework is proposed to couple a BPA and BPMS tool for round-trip business process modelling. The framework utilizes concepts from the model-driven architecture for structurally addressing interoperability and model transformations. Ensuring iterative development with two tools requires traceability of model transformations. Practical implications -In many organizations, BPA and BPMS tools are used for business process modelling. These are in practice often two different worlds, while they concern around the same business processes. Maintaining multiple versions of the same process models across two tools is a considerable task, as they often are subject to design changes. Interoperability between a BPA and BPMS tool will minimize redundant activities, and reduce business to IT deployment time. Originality/value -This research provides a theoretical base for coupling a BPA and BPMS tool regarding iterative round-trip modelling. It provides an overview of the current state-of-the-art literature of business process modelling transformations, and what is necessary for maintaining interoperability between tools. The findings indicate what is expected in tool support for iterative development in business process modelling from analysis and design to execution.
