AMINO: A quality assessment framework for modeling ecosystems

Abstract

SummaryModels are core assets in Model‐Driven Engineering (MDE). They are pervasively used throughout software development processes to leverage automation, increase cost‐effectiveness, and enhance quality factors. Model repositories have been successfully proposed to enforce reuse and elicit correlations among modeling artifacts, enabling storing operations on model‐based artifacts and collaborative modeling features. Maintaining and improving the quality of modeling artifacts is mandatory for software quality scale‐ups. Limiting the exploration of datasets and repositories of models to individual artifacts might reduce the ability to capture insights and reuse opportunities. This paper proposes AMINO, an analytics tool for model repositories supporting the discovery and quality evaluation of modeling ecosystems.
