2. Why Traceability Complex systems Automation and refinement Requirement
Maintainability
Enabling analysis on models
Impact
Coverage
Orphan
Etc..

3. MOFScript model to text transformation
An implementation of the MOFScript model to text transformation language
Developed at SINTEF ICT in the EU-supported MODELWARE and ongoing MODELPLEX project
Part of the GMT subproject
Was part of standardization process within OMG
OMG RFP MOF Model to Text Transformation process
Will be extended to support OMG M2T Standard

4. Traceability in MOFScript
Transformations contain references that should be substituted in the result
The references are the basis of MOFScript traceability.
All references will be traced to the text file(s) they occur in.
Granularity from model element to line and column in the text file
uml.Property::attributeGettersSetters () {
public String getBookTitle(){
return bookTitle; }
public void setBookTitle(String input){
bookTitle = input;
public Integer getNumberOfPages(){
return numberOfPages
public void setNumberOfPages(Integer input){
numberOfPages = input;
Book. java L1,C15
Book.java L2,C11
