Abstract

The use of Model Driven Development (MDD) is increasing in industry. When a Non Functional Requirement (NFR) not considered in the development must be added metamodels, models and also transformations are affected. Tasks for defining and maintaining model transformation rules can be complex in MDD. Model Transformation By Example (MTBE) approaches have been proposed to ease the development of transformation rules. In this paper an approach based on MTBE to derive the adaptation operations that must be implemented in a legacy model transformation when a NFR appears is presented. The approach derives semi-automatically the model transformations using execution traceability data and models differences. An example where access control property is integrated on a MDD system is introduced to demonstrate the usefulness of the tool to evolve model transformations.
