Why Traceability

• Complex systems• Automation and refinement• Requirement• Maintainability• Enabling analysis on models

Impact Coverage Orphan Etc..

MOFScript model to text transformation

• An implementation of the MOFScript model to text transformation language

• Developed at SINTEF ICT in the EU-supported MODELWARE and ongoing MODELPLEX project

Part of the GMT subproject http://www.eclipse.org.gmt/mofscript/

• Was part of standardization process within OMG OMG RFP MOF Model to Text Transformation process

• Will be extended to support OMG M2T Standard

Traceability in MOFScript

• Transformations contain references that should be substituted in the result

• The references are the basis of MOFScript traceability. • All references will be traced to the text file(s) they occur in. • Granularity from model element to line and column in the text file
