Maturity of Software Modelling and Model Driven Engineering: a Survey in the Italian Industry
0 likes755 views
The document reports on the results of a survey conducted in Italy on software modeling and model-driven engineering practices. The survey involved 155 companies and professionals and found that over two-thirds use some form of modeling. UML was the most commonly used language. Code generation was a popular technique, with nearly half of adopters generating code for 1-2 parts of each module. Developers and architects/project managers most commonly write models together. Larger companies tended to use more advanced techniques like code generation, model-to-model transformations, and tool development. Overall maturity was found to be moderate, with opportunities for standardization, integrated tooling, and quality/process improvements.

- 7. The goal is to Analyze the usage of every form of Modeling in SoBware development
- 9. What is a model and what is not a model?
- 10. What is modeling and what is not? For us: -‐ UML diagrams are models -‐ the uKerances of a textual or graphical DSL are models What is model-‐driven development and what is not? For us MDD is using one of this: -‐ AutomaOc M2M transformaOons -‐ Code generaOon -‐ Run-‐Ome model interpretaOon/execuOon …but it is complex to define borders and our quesKons tried to be as general as possible

- 20. Techniques used: toolsmithing 16% of the adopters of modeling have created tools (17 users) The most used technologies for developing these tools are: • GMF (6 users) • Xtext (4 users)
- 21. Who write the models? Just Developers 25 Just PM/Architects 23 Just Experts 0 Developers AND PM/Architects 45 Developers AND Experts 0 PM/Architects AND Experts 6 Developers AND PM/Architects AND 6 Experts “Experts do not write models, they validate them”?
