Xcarecrows 4 MDA

The Xcarecrows 4 MDA Eclipse plugin provides a toolchain to

• build models
• check their behavior
• transform them toward applications

Xcarecrows 4 MDA uses a hierarchical, state driven approach and
includes a test generation component to verify the safety of the
models. The validated models can thus be used in software applications
or in complex systems. border="0"
