Introduction (5)

• 7 people working vigorously on this project• 77 days to develop REMES GUI

– 38 days already passed away– 38 days to go

• 504 work hours spent– Average of 18 hours a week per person

• 3 main architecture parts: EMF, GEF, GMF• 1 user interface • Main technologies used: JAVA, EMF, GMF

Metamodel testing (1)

• Errors in metamodel– If metamodel changes, models and tools

based on it also have to change– Correcting errors in metamodel is quite

expensive later on in the project

• MMUnit – Implementation of an approach for automated

metamodel testing based on the specification of positive and negative example-models

– Eclipse platform and the JUnit framework

Metamodel testing (2)

• We create positive and negative test specifications• MMUnit derives test models from the test specification• Metamodel is automatically checked for every derived

test model

• Popup menu– Copy, cut, delete...

• Main menu – New, open, close…– Views

• Palette– Selection, marquee,

mode, connection

Next steps (1)

• Incremental development– Fast prototype– Customer feedback– Feedback analysis– GMF model update– GMF model implementation– New prototype testing
