Metrics for analyzing the quality of model transformations

Abstract

Model transformations become increasingly important with the emergence of model driven engineering of, amongst others, objectoriented software systems. It is therefore necessary to define and evaluate the quality of model transformations. The goal of our research is to make the quality of model transformations measurable. This position paper presents the first results of this ongoing research. We present the quality attributes we have identified thus far and a set of metrics to assess these quality attributes.
