Abstract

As the role of models during software development and maintenance is becoming more and more important, techniques are needed to control a model´s quality during evolution. We present our tool MetricViewEvolution as a step towards managing model quality during development and evolution. Six views are implemented in MetricViewEvolution that aid the user in tasks such as model understanding, identification of quality problems and evolution trends. The views combine structural model information with metrics data from inside the model and external sources. MetricViewEvolution has been applied successfully in industrial case studies
