A Comparative Case Study of Model Driven Development vs Traditional Development : The Tortoise or the Hare

At present, model driven development is showcased for large software development projects while simultaneously in industry, model driven development is used extensively for small-scale projects as well. The application of model driven development for small-scale development projects has received little attention, reducing the ability to theorize or develop it. This paper presents a case study of the development of a small middleware application, which is further contrasted with a number of leading studies on model driven development. The case study shows that model driven development is well applicable to small-scale development projects under easily satisfiable conditions.
