Abstract:
1. A method for guided resolution of inter-model inconsistencies, comprising: grouping inconsistencies, detected as a result of a model-driven software development process, into model partitions within a list by analyzing relationships between the underlying models and identifying model partitions that are capable of being processed independently from one another during a resolution process; assigning priorities to models that contribute to the detected inconsistencies and inconsistency types, the priorities determining an order in which corresponding inconsistencies are presented to a user during the resolution process; reordering the list of inconsistencies to minimize the number of context switches during the resolution process, comprising: presenting, via a user interface screen, a listing of the inconsistencies and associated resolutions resulting from the reordering to the user at a client system; wherein the user applies a selected resolution for each of the inconsistencies presented via the user interface screen.
