Tool Support for Collaborative Software Quality Management

Nowadays cloud services and complex cyber–physical systems gradually find their way into practice. As a result the need for end–to–end software quality management across platform and organizational boundaries has become paramount. One solution proposed by the software engineering community is the use of integrated model repositories for interchanging, interlinking and analyzing software engineering data and coordinating actions of manifold stakeholders working on this data. With MoVE, the Model Evolution Engine, we have developed a model repository supporting model–based data management in heterogeneous tool environments. The state machine based workflow concept allows a tight integration of data and automated and manual actions on the repository in a change–driven way. In this paper we will present the essential components of our MoVE Framework, starting with an introduction of the most important concepts, followed by the state based workflow language which will be contained in our demonstration .
