PhD Research Topic:

Model Driven Framework for Verification and Validation of Component Integration

 

Model-driven architecture (MDA) is an emerging technology for developing software applications in which models at various levels of abstraction are used to automate software development and testing. Component-Based Software Development (CBSD) is a process in which software applications are developed by reusing existing components. The objective of this research is to investigate the use of MDA in the context of component-based testing and to propose and evaluate a novel framework for model-driven verification and validation (V&V) of component integration.
