Model-driven system development: Experimental design and report of the pilot experiment

Feel free to contact to request further information, to propose a collaboration (e.g. a replication package) or to provide feedback. This report describes de design of an experiment that intends to compare two variants of a model‐ driven system development method, so as to assess the impact of requirements engineering practice in the quality of the conceptual models. The conceptual modelling method being assessed is the OO‐Method [Pastor and Molina 2007]. One of its variants includes Communication Analysis, a communication‐oriented requirements engineering method [España, González et al. 2009] and a set of guidelines to derive conceptual models from requirements models [España, Ruiz et al. 2011; González, España et al. 2011]. The other variant is an ad‐hoc, text‐based requirements practice similar to the one that is applied in industrial projects by OO‐Method practitioners.
