Evaluating Metamodel Quality Metrics [message #1863493]

Hi everyone,

I implemented my metamodels using EMF; now I want to evaluate some quality metrics such as the Maintainability, Understandably, Complexity, and Reusability metrics for each one of them. The aforementioned metrics are calculated based on some other simple metrics like the Number of MetaClasses, the Number of Total References, etc. ( you may see all of those metrics in this paper ((Bettini L. et al. (2019). "Quality-driven detection and resolution of metamodel smells." IEEE Access 7: 16364-16376).
Is there any example, documentation, or tutorial on calculating these metrics using Epsilon's languages?

Hi Ali,

Ecore metamodels (.ecore files) are regular EMF models and can be managed with Epsilon's languages like any other EMF model. I've pushed an example that shows how to query an Ecore metamodel using EOL, but let us know if you have any further questions.

Thanks,
Dimitris
