Quality management using model-driven engineering: an overview

Quality Management (QM) is one of the critical points of any software development process. In recent years, several proposals have emerged on this issue, mainly with regard to maturity models, quality standards and best practices collections. Besides, Model Driven Engineering (MDE) aims to build software systems through the construction and transformation of models. However, MDE might be used for other different tasks. In this poster, we summarize the main contributions about the application of MDE to QM activities. The reviewed papers are classified according to a set of practices known relating to assuring, reviewing, monitoring and improving of the software process. We believe that the application of MDE to QM is an area to maximize, because although there are numerous references regarding to MDE and QM, the volume of studies about joint applications is low.
