  • Introducing MDSD in a familiar environment with existing technology platforms and frameworks can lead to significant advantages and improved software quality.

Deep dives

Role differentiation in MDSD projects

In MDSD (Model Driven Software Development) projects, there are two distinct roles. The first role involves formalizing the architecture, building the generator, and defining the meta models. This is known as the domain architecture development track. The second group of people uses the generator to build applications without needing to understand the intricate details of MDSD. They simply work with models, generate code, and work with the resulting output. While some individuals may have a natural inclination for formalizing into meta models, it is not a skill that everyone possesses. Therefore, it is crucial to have a small group of individuals who are skilled in the formalization aspect while keeping the majority of developers focused on applying the MDSD methodology.
