Abstract


The paper proposes extension of MDA called Quality Model Driven Architecture (Q-MDA) which can be used for quality control in software development process. The proposed Q-MDA approach, being an extension to the MDA, allows for considering quality requirements while conducting the design process. The main idea of presented extension consists of two elements. The first one is explicit decomposition of a model at given abstraction level on two interrelated models: software artifacts, which reflect functional requirements and quality model. The second element is simultaneous transformation of these two models. Such a procedure ensures that the transformation decisions should be based on the quality assessment of the created models.
