Proactive Quality Guidance for Model Evolution in Model Libraries
This addresses quality concerns for reusability in model libraries, but it appears incremental as it builds on existing evolution concepts with specific adaptations.
The paper tackles the problem of maintaining model quality during evolution in model libraries by proposing a proactive quality guidance approach that uses editing-time assessment, a lightweight quality model, metrics, and simplified reviews to foster reusability, resulting in improved guidance through quality gates.
Model evolution in model libraries differs from general model evolution. It limits the scope to the manageable and allows to develop clear concepts, approaches, solutions, and methodologies. Looking at model quality in evolving model libraries, we focus on quality concerns related to reusability. In this paper, we put forward our proactive quality guidance approach for model evolution in model libraries. It uses an editing-time assessment linked to a lightweight quality model, corresponding metrics, and simplified reviews. All of which help to guide model evolution by means of quality gates fostering model reusability.
