ECEASST A Feature Model for an IDE4OCL

Abstract: An Integrated OCL Development Environment (IDE4OCL) can signif-icantly improve the pragmatics and practice of OCL. Therefore we started a com-prehensive requirement analysis with the long term vision of a multisite IDE4OCL project. In this paper we present a feature model for the IDE4OCL vision based on this analysis. In an earlier work we identified domain concepts, tool–level interac-tions with IDE4OCL, and use cases for OCL developers including a set predefined features. In the second step, we asked the OCL community members for their feed-back on our proposal. Around 100 researchers, tool developers and practitioners who gained experience with OCL have voted in an online–survey. The results gave us a valuable insight in the needs of OCL usage both in usual and advanced OCL ap-plications. One of the important results is a collection of features that have been pro-posed additionally to our predefined features. We analysed all the comments of the participants of the survey and consolidated them into an extended set of IDE4OCL features and eventually into a feature model
