Requirements Traceability and Transformation Conformance in Model-Driven Development

The variety of design artefacts (models) produced in a model-driven design process results in an intricate relationship between requirements and the various models. This paper proposes a methodological framework that simplifies management of this relationship. This framework is a basis for tracing requirements, assessing the quality of model transformation specifications, metamodels, models and realizations. We propose a notion of conformance between application models which reduces the effort needed for assessment activities. We discuss how this notion of conformance can be integrated with model transformations.
