Interactive Dependency Graphs for Model Transformation Analysis.
Andreas Rentschler, Per Sterner · 2013
Abstract. Model transformations are pivotal artifacts in model-driven software projects. As with any software product, maintenance significantly contributes to the lifecycle costs. This is particularly true for model transformations. We present Transformation Analysis, a tool that supplements existing transformation editors under Eclipse with a graph view on the program’s data and control dependencies. The tool has been designed to extract and deliver select information to maintainers to help them understand behavior and locate relevant code quicker. To accomplish this goal, the integrated view is interactively navigable and offers preconfigured filter criteria. 1
