A Qualitative Study of Model Transformation Development Approaches: Supporting Novice Developers.
Gabriel Costa Silva, Louis M. Rose, Radu Călinescu · 2014
Developing model transformations is not a straightforward task. It is particularly challenging when the developer has limited or no experience in this area. This not only impedes the adoption of model transformations, but also prevents companies from the benefits of ModelDriven Engineering. We qualitatively analyse eight of the most relevant approaches to developing model transformations cited in the literature. Different from most studies in this area, we focus on life-cycle activities other than implementation. By highlighting the strengths and weaknesses of these approaches, we help new developers in selecting an approach and complement existing studies in this area.
