The introduction of UML models in the software life cycle poses new issues and challenges that are not adequately supported by current state-of-the-art development tools, especially concerning V&V activities. Indeed, every tool usually focuses on a small set of specialized activities, failing to provide a satisfactory (general purpose) V&V framework. In this paper we propose a methodology which allows a seamless integration of V&V into a UML-based development environment. The methodology exploits a set of supporting tools designed to be integrated in a unified framework. We believe that such proactive collaboration between tools can reduce significantly both effort and time required to tackle consistency, correctness, quality and long-term maintainability of UML models, increasing the development productivity and the overall quality of the delivered system.

Abstract

The introduction of UML models in the software life cycle poses new issues and challenges that are not adequately supported by current state-of-the-art development tools, especially concerning V&V activities. Indeed, every tool usually focuses on a small set of specialized activities, failing to provide a satisfactory (general purpose) V&V framework. In this paper we propose a methodology which allows a seamless integration of V&V into a UML-based development environment. The methodology exploits a set of supporting tools designed to be integrated in a unified framework. We believe that such proactive collaboration between tools can reduce significantly both effort and time required to tackle consistency, correctness, quality and long-term maintainability of UML models, increasing the development productivity and the overall quality of the delivered system.
