“…M2T transformations are typically used to implement code and documentation generators, model serialization, and model visualization [237]. Among the frameworks and languages to deine M2T transformations, we can ind Acceleo [170], EGL [238], MOFScript [233] and Xtend [172]. T2M transformations are typically used for reverse engineering [134], e.g., transforming legacy applications to models for model-driven software modernization.…”

Model transformations are the key technique in Model-Driven Engineering (MDE) to manipulate and construct models. As a consequence, the correctness of software systems built with MDE approaches relies mainly on the correctness of model transformations, and thus, detecting and locating bugs in model transformations have been popular research topics in recent years. This surge of work has led to a vast literature on model transformation testing and debugging, which makes it challenging to gain a comprehensive view of the current state of the art. This is an obstacle for newcomers to this topic and MDE practitioners to apply these approaches. This paper presents a survey on testing and debugging model transformations based on the analysis of 140 papers on the topics. We explore the trends, advances, and evolution over the years, bringing together previously disparate streams of work and providing a comprehensive view of these thriving areas. In addition, we present a conceptual framework to understand and categorise the different proposals. Finally, we identify several open research challenges and propose specific action points for the model transformation community.

“…Even with such a basic technique, promising results are achieved. Since our approach is orthogonal to conflict resolution methods, it can be integrated with more sophisticated algorithms, such as fine grained/language specific resolution techniques [Birken 2014], leaving manual intervention as a fall-back. As future work, we plan to address conflict resolution also in the modeling phase, so to provide a unique environment for managing change at the model and at the code level.…”

Model Driven Development (MDD) requires proper tools to derive the implementation code from the application models. However, the integration of handwritten and generated code is a long-standing issue that affects the adoption of MDD in the industry. This article presents a model and code co-evolution approach that addresses such a problem a posteriori , using the standard collision detection capabilities of Version Control Systems to support the semi-automatic merge of the two types of code. We assess the proposed approach by contrasting it with the more traditional template-based, forward-engineering process, adopted by most MDD tools.
