A Model-Driven Measurement Approach

Companies using domain specific languages in a model-driven development process need to measure their models. However, developing and maintaining a measurement software for each domain specific modeling language is costly. Our contribution is a model-driven measurement, approach. This measurement approach is model-driven from two viewpoints: 1) it, measures models of a model-driven development processes; 2) it, uses models as unique and consistent, metric specification, w.r.t a metric specification metamodel. This declarative specifications of metrics is then used to generate a fully fledged implementation. The benefit from applying the approach is evaluated by two applications. They indicate that this approach reduces the domain-specific measurement software development cost.
