Abstract

Research on how to develop information systems efficiently and effectively since early 1960s has resulted in many techniques, methods and methodologies. Only a few of them, however, have been successfully practiced in the field. Model-Driven Development(MDD) is an innovative approach emphasizing the central role of model for development activities, attracting many practitioners' attention as well as researchers'. As MDD matures, many researchers have been trying to establish the evidence of its effectiveness. But many of them only suggest lessons learned or report limited evidence of effectiveness based on isolated case studies. This paper reports the state of the art of Model-Driven Engineering(MDE) and its major issues. We reviewed a number of papers and collected the conceptual definitions of MDE effectiveness from the technological and organizational perspectives. A case study in which MDD technology was adopted has been performed in order to measure the effectiveness of MDD quantitatively and qualitatively. This paper also analyzes and summarizes key considerations and lessons learned for IT organizations to adopt MDE successfully from the case study.

정보시스템 개발 프로세스와 기법에 대한 연구는 1960년대 이후 지속적으로 이뤄져 왔으나 실제 개발 현장에 성공적으로 적용되는 사례는 적은 경우에 불과하다. 최근 기술 발전과 더불어 모델 기반의 정보시스템 개발 기법인 MDD(Model-Driven Development)가 많은 관심을 모으고 있다. MDD의 발전과 더불어 그 효과를 검증하기 위해 다양한 연구가 이뤄지고 있으나, 대부분은 사례연구를 통해 얻어진 교훈이나, 제한된 측정 데이터로 분석된 효과를 제시하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 MDE(Model-Driven Engineering)의 기술현황 및 주요 이슈를 알아보고, MDE 도입을 검토하는 조직을 위해 효과성 측정을 위한 기존 연구 결과를 기술적, 조직적 측면에서 정리하였다. 또한, MDD를 실제 정보시스템 개발 프로세스에 적용한 사례연구를 통해 새로운 측정지표로 정량적, 정성적 효과성을 측정하였다. 더불어, MDE 도입시 주요 고려사항과 사례연구를 통해 얻은 교훈을 기술적, 조직적 차원에서 제시한다.
