Roles in Software Development using Domain Specific Modeling Languages
This work addresses the problem of coordinating diverse developer skills in software engineering, but it is incremental as it builds on existing DSML and agile methodologies.
The paper tackles the challenge of integrating domain-specific modeling languages (DSMLs) into agile software development by defining roles within such a process, demonstrating its application using the MontiCore framework for automotive HMI software development.
Domain-specific modelling languages (DSMLs) successfully separate the conceptual and technical design of a software system by modelling requirements in the DSML and adding technical elements by appropriate generator technology. In this paper we describe the roles within an agile development process that allows us to implement a software system by using a combination of domain specific models and source code. We describe the setup of such a process using the MontiCore framework and demonstrate the advantages by describing how a group of developers with diverse individual skills can develop automotive HMI software.
