MD wizard - a model-driven framework for wizard-based modeling guidance in UML tools

The paper presents MD Wizard-a new model-driven framework, which supports wizard-based modeling guidance in UML tools. The framework uses Software Process Engineering Metamodel (SPEM) profile and extends it with stereotypes enabling wizard execution in the modeling environment. It allows the end-users of a modeling tool to define the activity diagram with the sequence of modeling tasks, and execute it as a wizard. It applies a model-driven development approach for enabling the modelers to extend the standard UML modeling environment. MD Wizard prototype has been implemented as a MagicDraw plug-in. Two applications of the proposed framework-the processes for use case modeling and robustness analysis-are presented.
