Modeling transparency (Brinkkemper)

• Metric for CASE tool architecture evaluation

• Measures linking functionality between diagrams

  • Can we open more than one diagram at once?
  • Can we show several diagrams at once?
  • Can we link between diagrams that follow each other?
  • Can we link between diagrams that represent the same thing?

• Equates roughly to Ease of Use

• Scale 0-3, 0=fancy drawing tool, 3=any link you want

• Assumption: single user, single environment

  • Also no MetaEngine: tools access repository directly
