Traceability Support for MDE Development of Home Automation Systems

Traceability is a technique to ease determining the impact of changes in the design of software, to support their integration, to preserve knowledge, and to assure the quality and accuracy of the overall system. In this paper, an approach that considers traceability in the context of model-driven development of Home Automation (HA) systems is presented. This combination enables the development of tools with techniques for improving the quality both of the process and of the models obtained. To obtain these advantages we have developed a tool that provides users with traceability reports after applying model transformations. These reports enable developers to study whether all requirements have been considered, the impact of changes, and how they are considered both in architectural decisions and code implementations.
