摘要

架构模式的行为必须在软件开发过程的各种活动中产生的工件方面保持一致,例如需求、软件架构、详细设计和实现。在这种情况下,高级模型主要用于以抽象和/或简洁的方式(例如,需求或架构设计)传达它们所代表的现实的核心概念或原则。如果在这种高级模型中使用了特定的体系结构模式(如模型-视图-控制器),则相应的详细设计和实现也基于该特定模式。低级或详细的设计模型用于提供(更)精确的源代码规范。然而,由于不同涉众的参与和软件系统的独立演化,在这些不同的抽象层次上,架构模式的行为可能会出现不一致。以前的研究没有考虑到检查架构模式的行为。在本文中,我们提出了一个包含检查问题的解决方案,该问题验证低级模型所描述的行为是否仍然与高级模型所提供的模式规范一致。在这里,架构模式元素之间的交互是使用UML2序列图捕获的。本文还旨在为利益相关者提供更全面的信息反馈,以确定违规原因并解决违规问题。通过将所提出的解决方案应用于三种体系结构模式(即模型-视图-控制器、层以及管道和过滤器)来证明其适用性。所提出的解决方案还可以应用于其他类型的行为模型,例如状态机、活动图和BPMN模型,以及其他体系结构模式。

Towards Containment Checking of Behaviour in Architectural Patterns
The behaviour of architectural patterns must be consistent in terms of the artefacts produced in the various activities of the software development process, such as requirements, software architecture, detailed design and implementation. In this context, high-level models are mainly used to convey the core concepts or principles of the reality they represent in an abstract and/or concise way (e.g., requirements or architecture design). If a specific architectural pattern like model-view-controller is used in such high-level models, the corresponding detailed designs and implementations are also based on the particular pattern. Low-level or detailed design models are used to provide a (more) precise specification of the source code. However, because of the involvement of different stakeholders and independent evolution of software systems, inconsistencies might occur in architectural patterns' behaviour at those different abstraction levels. Previous studies have not considered the checking of architectural patterns' behaviour. In this paper, we present a solution to the containment checking problem that verifies whether the behaviour described by a low-level model still is consistent with the pattern specifications provided in its high-level counterparts. Here, the interactions between architectural pattern elements are captured using UML2 sequence diagrams. This paper also aims at providing more informative and comprehensive feedbacks to the stakeholders for identification of violation causes and their resolutions. The applicability of the proposed solution is demonstrated by applying it on three architectural patterns, namely model-view-controller, layers, and pipe and filter. The proposed solutions can also be applied to other types of behaviour models, such as state machines, activity diagrams and BPMN models, as well as other architectural patterns.
