Empirical assessment of Model-Driven Engineering in a middlesized e-commerce organization

Abstract

In this thesis we strive to assess the feasibility of Model Driven Engineering (MDE) in a middlesized e-commerce organization. We intend to fill a gap of empirical research on the subject matter by providing our own case study. Using a qualitative data analysis approach, we base our research on data gathered from a project carried out at an internet auctions and valuations company. We raise the question of when to implement MDE and reflect on the idea that MDE is suitable only in situations when existing company methods are not sufficient to solve the problem at hand.
