Co-evolving application code and design models by exploiting meta-data
Walter Cazzola, Sonia Pini, Ahmed Ghoneim, Gunter Saake · 2007
Evolvability and adaptability are intrinsic properties of today's software applications. Unfortunately, the urgency of evolving/adapting a system often drives the developer to directly modify the application code neglecting to update its design models. Even, most of the development environments support the code refactoring without supporting the refactoring of the design information.
