The aim of this book is to give an overview of the state of the art in model-driven software development. Achievements are considered from a conceptual point of view in the first part, while the second part describes technical advances and infrastructures. Finally, the third part summarizes experiences gained in actual projects employing model-driven development. Beydeda, Book and Gruhn put together the results from leading researchers in this area, both from industry and academia. The result is a collection of papers which gives both researchers and graduate students a comprehensive overview of current research issues and industrial forefront practice, as promoted by OMG’s MDA initiative.

Beydeda and Gruhn invited leading researchers in the area of component testing to contribute to this monograph, which covers all related aspects from testing components in a context-independent manner through testing components in the context of a specific system to testing complete systems built from different components. The authors take the viewpoints of both component developers and component users, and their contributions encompass functional requirements such as correctness and functionality compliance as well as non-functional requirements like performance and robustness. This book offers researchers, graduate students and professionals a comprehensive overview of the state of the art in testing COTS components and COTS-based systems.

The Net.ObjectDays Workshops on Testing of Component-Based Systems (TECOS 2004) and Software Quality (SOQUA 2004) took place at the fair and convention center Erfurt on September 30, 2004. This volume contains all accepted papers and abstracts of invited talks. To assure scientific quality, the selection is based on a strict review process. The papers cover the following subjects: testing, especially of component-based systems, benchmarking, complexity metrics, experience factory, and inspections.

Component-based development is a major trend in software engineering. One of the expected benefits of using components in software development is an increase of the final system's quality. Unfortunately, experience showed that use of components does not necessarily imply such an increase and that components, particularly third-party components, need to be tested prior to their integration into a system. This book introduces a new approach called the Self-Testing COTS Components (STECC) Method. The STECC method aims to meet the requirements of both the provider and user of a component. On the one hand, the provider of a component usually does not wish to disclose certain information. On the other hand, the user needs to test the component, which might require this information. The STECC method not only benefits the user of a component in that the user can test a component as required. It can also benefit its provider, as self-testability provided by an appropriately augmented component can be an advantage in competition.

Software is the essential enabler for the new economy and science. It creates new markets and new directions for a more reliable, flexible, and robust society. It empowers the exploration of our world in ever more depth. However, software often falls short behind our expectations. Current software methodologies, tools, and techniques remain expensive and not yet reliable for a highly changeable and evolutionary market. Many approaches have been proven only as case-by-case oriented methods. This book presents a number of new trends and theories in the direction in which we believe software science and engineering may develop to transform the role of software and science in tomorrow’s information society. This book is an attempt to capture the essence of a new state of art in software science and its supporting technology. The book also aims at identifying the challenges such a technology has to master. This book covers subjects on Ontology and Software Requirement, Enterprise and Conceptual Software Models, Declarative Representation for Software Development, Requirement Representation and Formalization, Formal Specification and Language Interpretation, Legacy Systems and Language Conversions, Software Quality and Development Measurement, and Software Development Practices Models examples. Each of these chapters contains well-reviewed and selected papers, so the reader can enjoy the state-of-the-art on the need on such new emerged technology.
