Project Overview • The history begins with gvPontis • Conselleria d’Infraestructures, Territori i Medi Ambient (CITMA) (Infrastructures, Territory and Environment Regional Ministry) • Comunidad Valenciana Government (Generalitat) viernes 18 de mayo de 12

Project Overview • gvMétrica : Software Development Method • How to apply gvMétrica? • Document Templates • Tools? viernes 18 de mayo de 12

Project Overview • Free CASE tools survey: • April 2006 • No tools satisfying most of the organization requirements were found • Decision : Develop “New” free CASE tool • UPV-PROS proposes Eclipse as technological platform • gvCASE Project : Starts April 2007 • Renamed as MOSKitt in 2008 viernes 18 de mayo de 12

What is MOSKitt? • A free CASE tool built on Eclipse (EPL license) • It provides the necessary tools for CITMA supporting gvMétrica and much more... • Supports UML modeling language and more... viernes 18 de mayo de 12

What is MOSKitt? it is MORE than a CASE Tool... • MOSKitt has been conceived as a “ Particular ” CASE tool • MOSKitt is a general Framework for the definition and implementation of SW production methods based on MDE principles • MOSKitt can be easily adapted and extended viernes 18 de mayo de 12
