How MAD are we? Empirical evidence for Model-Driven Agile Development

Abstract

Agile development and Model-driven Engineering has both changed the software development industry significantly. Increasing development performance, productivity and software reliability. Agile with its rapid response to change and constant stakeholder involvement and Model-driven development making it easier to communicate within projects and providing high-level designs and architectures. Though they both have some deficiencies, could a combination of them both provide a solution to this? Could Agile inherit the advantages of Model-driven engineering and vice versa? In this paper we will presents a systematic literature review (SLR) collecting practices and experiences from projects that tried to combine these two development styles. We will answer questions like; what is the state of the art, combining Agile and MDD? And what is lacking in empirical literature on Model-driven Agile development?
