The goal of this project is to provide tdohe means for assessing and comparing the quality of M2M (Model-to-Model) transformations. For this, we introduced a conceptual framework that is supported by different artifacts as well as an appropriate tooling and examples.
Currently, we provide the following:
- The extensible M2M Quality measurement framework available as Eclipse plugins. Currently, it allows to measure 42 distinct code metrics for QVT-O, QVT-R, and Java/EMF. Available in this GIT repository.
- Literature providing our conceptual ideas and guidance in conducting empirical measurements in the context of M2M transformations. Available here.
- A set of 14 M2M transformation scenarios implemented in each, QVT-O, QVT-R, and Java/EMF (resulting in 42 implementations). Available in this GIT repository.
- A questionnaire for conducting empirical measurements based on given M2M transformation scenarios. Material available under Downloads; online questionnaire at Google Forms.
- First collected measurement data of applying our framework to the 14 M2M transformation scenarios. Here, we focused on maintainability properties. Downloads.
The following figure provides a high-level overview of our conceptual framework. A description of it can be found in the Master's thesis "Assessing the Quality of Model-to-Model Transformations Based on Scenarios" by Sebastian Lehrig.
