Abstract:
The problem of inconsistency detection and management is central to the development of large and complex software systems. Although sufficient support for model consistency is a crucial prerequisite for the successful and effective application of CASE tools, the current tool support is rather limited. In this paper we present a flexible and incremental consistency management realized in the Open Source UML CASE tool Fujaba. The consistency management is highly configurable and can be adapted individually to user, project or domain specific demands. For the specification of syntactical consistency rules we provide a built-in formalism based on graph grammars.
