Automatic transformation applied to a software process using MDA

Abstract

MDA is a concept promoted by the OMG that proposes software development based on models specified using UML, to make from these models a transformation to other models and also source code that can be executed as an application implemented by a programmer. In software engineering the models are very important in development, due to the fact that they enhance the reuse of the different parts or components and with them a better production and maintenance is generated. This paper presents automatic transformations of a software process, for which the tools: MediniQVT and Eclipse Process Framework, and the QVT and ATL languages were used. A configuration metamodel along with the automatic transformation from source code to java were also successfully created.
