Abstract

Software should be developed in a way that achieves high external and internal quality. Most programs have to be maintained or are extended. They should not only adhere to their requirements but allow to be efficiently changed. Model-driven software development (MDSD) and test-driven development (TDD) are techniques that help to satisfy this demand. We present a novel approach combining MDSD and TDD while using the Spring Roo Web development framework. Besides discussing existing work and the background, we sketch a test-driven Web development process. We then evaluate its feasibility in an exemplary scenario. Thereby, we contribute to the body of scientific knowledge on Web development frameworks in the field of MDSD and TDD.
