Abstract

Model-Driven Development (MDD) has made models first-class citizens of the software development process. Thus, a key factor for the successful adoption of MDD techniques is the ability to verify models, which can be achieved by model simulation and testing. This is already a reality for UML models, due mainly to the UML action language. However, at the current time, there are currently no tools available which are fully compliant with the UML action language. This leads to tool-interoperability and extensibility problems. In order to overcome this limitation, this paper presents Pópulo, a UML model debugger that interprets the UML action language. It is fully compliant with the UML 2.0 standard, and can be customised for executing models that need to extend (i.e. profile) the UML action language.
