Key functions for a metaCASE tool, 3
Management of method updates
- Transformation rules between method versions (e.g. UML 1.2 to UML 1.3, or to your own extended UML)
- Update designs (semi-)automatically to correspond to the new method version.
- This function usually necessitates an integrated metaCASE tool and CASE tool.
Interchange format
- Importing and exporting of both models and metamodels.
- Importing should be incremental:
- previously imported data from the same exporter should be updated automatically, rather than creating duplicates.
