Imane Essebaa, Salima Chantit · Annals of Computer Science and Information Systems · 2018
Model Driven Architecture (MDA) and Agile Methods (AM) are two principal domains that are in the way of improvement and evolution in order to facilitate the development of IT projects.However, these areas evolve separately despite the great number of research that focuses on improving project' development techniques.Thus, our proposal aims to provide a method describing how can Agile Methodologies benefits from MDA, and how MDA can automate activities within AM.In this paper, we present a state of the art of existing works that combine a Model Driven Architecture approach and Agile Methodologies.Then we present our analysis of this combination to identify with which Agile methods, the MDA approach is more adequate.We also propose our vision about how to combine MDA with the selected Agile Methodologies and evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of each methodology during its combination with MDA and finally we present a case study of Rental Car Agency.
