Abstract

The main focus of Software Engineering discipline is to establishing methods and processes for the effective and efficient development of software projects. One of the most relevant paradigms for achieving this goal is Model-Driven Development (MDD). MDD uses models at different abstraction levels to automatically generate software products by means of model-transformations. However, one of the main issues related to the development of MDD technologies is the lack of standardization in terms of the features that need to be considered to support the current industry needs. This difficults the comparison of existing technologies since there are not a reference point for the creation of new MDD approaches with their corresponding supporting tools. This paper analyses these industry needs through an exploratory study. From the results obtained, it states the main features that must be supported by MDD tools. In addition, this paper presents an analysis about the presence or absence of these features in a set of industrial MDD tools.
