Model-Driven Software Development: Integrating Quality Assurance (Premier Reference Source)

Model-driven software development (MDSD) drastically alters the software development process, characterized by a high degree of innovation and productivity. However, quality assurance application in the domain of software models and model-driven software development is still in an emergent phase. Model-Driven Software Development: Integrating Quality Assurance provides in-depth coverage of important concepts, issues, trends, methodologies, and technologies in quality assurance for model-driven software development. This Premier Reference Source provides educators, researchers, and practitioners with a comprehensive overview of current trends in research and practice of quality assurance in MDSD.
