Model-driven Generative Development of Measurement Software

Abstract: Metrics offer a practical approach to evaluate properties of domain-specific models. However, it is costly to develop and maintain measurement software for each domain specific modeling language. In this paper, we present a model-driven and generative approach to measuring models. The approach is completely domain-independent and operationalized through a prototype that synthesizes a measurement infrastructure for a domain specific modeling language. This model-driven measurement approach is model-driven from two viewpoints: 1) it measures models of a domain specific modeling language; 2) it uses models as unique and consistent metric specifications, w.r.t. a metric specification metamodel which captures all the necessary concepts for model-driven specifications of metrics. The benefit from applying the approach is evaluated by four case studies. They indicate that this approach significantly eases the measurement activities of model-driven development processes.
