Model Driven Business^®

What is Model Driven Business?^®

Model Driven Business^® enables companies and their software teams to realize the true potential of model driven development, regardless of software development process. Model Driven Business^® goes far beyond code generation to encompass all stakeholders, including users, analysts, developers, testers and implementers, and all software related information, assets and intellectual property (IP), across the complete software development life cycle.

Model Driven Business^® comprises the following key elements:

• Education: educating your team on the key principles of best practice model driven development.

• Tools: helping you select, and get full value from, the best tools for model driven development.

• Information capture: capturing every piece of relevant information (artifacts) across the software development lifecycle, from requirements specifications and use cases to testing modules.

• Single repository: storing all this information in a single repository that can be accessed by all members of the software development team.

• Information architecture: creating an information architecture for this repository using a metamodel that defines the relationships between all the elements and allows for traceability between all the elements.

• Code generation: enabling code generation to enhance quality, comply with software standards, reduce risk and reduce manual programming.

• Analytics and reporting: creating and using analytics and reporting to provide complete visibility across the project.
