Abstract

Development models of software applications may be annotated with additional information and transformed within a transformation chain into a resulting model that may be used to evaluate the development model, for example, for simulation and/or performance support of the development model. By relating elements of the development model through the transformation chain to elements of the resulting model, the evaluation may be performed with respect to the resulting/transformed model, but provided to a user in terms of the original development model. In this way, a user of the development model may work with the more-familiar development model, without having to alter the development model directly in order to obtain the evaluation.
