Abstract

Class models are typically specified at a high level of abstraction and subsequently refined with textual constraints to obtain higher maturity levels. This task requires significant expertise and effort because constraints must be elicited and formalized. In this chapter, we identify typical refinement problems for class models that threaten model quality and show how a list of refinement tasks can be automatically compiled from a given model. We present constraint patterns that help to carry out these tasks semiautomatically and introduce a tool prototype for our approach.
