Evaluation of BridgePoint Model.Driven Development Tool in Distributed Environment

In this paper, we describe experiences gained in the project that had the goal to evaluate the Model-Driven Design methodology and BridgePoint tool in distributed development environment. Although design object was not of crucial importance for the project, the Diameter protocol was chosen because of its relevance for the corporation. Experiences gained from project are neither too positive nor too negative. BridegPoint does not allow definition of system-wide class model, which greatly affects modeling possibilities. Also, it misses some of the important version control features such as comparing and merging models. However, development process is, after initial learning phase, much faster than in usual development process. Possibility to verify the model behavior before code generation turned out to be very useful feature. During the project, some of the good practices as well as issues for distributed model-driven development using BridgePoint tool are recognized. The tool may yet not be ready for large-scale projects but it surely has great potential for drastically improving productivity of small to medium development teams.
