Challenges in Deployment of Model Driven Development

Model-driven development (MDD) is an approach that focuses on creating models as first class development artifacts to produce source code by utilizing model transformations. Process support is needed for effective MDD as it guides the development of the model and helps to manage the relationships between models. Our paper highlights the results of the survey on real life experiences of using MDD in companies. The results confirm the validity of the previously published MDD-related challenges. Regardless of the advantages identified by the respondents there are still many challenges to tackle before MDD will become more generally used in organizations. However, respondents found the approach useful and state that in the next five years the product development processes, methods and tools will be developed towards MDD adoption in their organizations.
