The Model Driven Software Network - Raise your level of abstraction. Report Lauds Model-Driven Approach's Impact On Maintenance Productivity. The Middleware Company, a “knowledge network for middleware professionals,” is out with the results of its productivity research on developers maintaining or enhancing a J2EE application using Model-Driven Architecture (MDA) and code-centric approaches.
The research found that MDA increases maintenance productivity by 37 percent over a traditional, code-centric approach, The Middleware Company reports. An earlier study conducted in 2003 showed that MDA increases the productivity of creating new J2EE applications by 35 percent. "Based on the results of this study, we encourage organizations wishing to improve their developer productivity to evaluate MDA-based development tools," said Tyler Jewell, COO at The Middleware Company, which has relationships with 350,000 developers through TheServerSide Communities and provides the most in-depth technical research on middleware technology available in the industry.
Research: Model-driven development increases productivity. Staff reports Published: 02 Mar 2004 If productivity is an issue in maintaining applications, research from the Compuware Corp. indicates that model-driven, pattern-based development may be the answer.
Results said that productivity gains approach 70% in the maintenance phase of the application lifecycle using MDPB development. The gains were measured using Compuware's OptimalJ against code-centric integrated development environments. OptimalJ is an enterprise application development environment that uses patterns to automatically translate business models into working applications.
