Abstract:
Requirements Engineering (RE) is an essential process in the development of effective software systems, and it is the basis for subsequent development processes. At present, the focus of Model Transformation (MT) is mainly on the specification and implementation stages. Transformations are not using engineering principles, which may not be an issue within a small project, but it will be problematic in large scale industry projects. One of the main reasons that hinders a systematic RE process to be used before starting the development could be the false assumption that it is a waste of time/cost and would delay the implementation. The goal of this paper is to evaluate model transformation technology from a requirements engineering process point of view. We identify techniques for the RE of MT, taking into account specific characteristics of different categories of model transformations.
