Abstract

Abstract. This contribution discusses model transformations in the form of transformation models that connect a source and a target meta-model. The transformation model is statically analyzed within a UML and OCL tool by giving each constraint an individual representation in the underlying class diagram by highlighting the employed model ele-ments. We also discuss how to analyze transformation models dynami-cally on the basis of a model validator translating UML and OCL into relational logic. One can specify, for example, the transformation source and let the tool compute automatically the transformation target on the basis of the transformation model without the need for implementing the transformation. Properties like injectivity of the transformation can be checked through the construction of example transformation pairs.
