Domain-Specific Visual language (DSVL) meta-tool has managed to help and assist end-user to create DSVL. With a pre-built function and numerous graphical representations to choose from, it has reduced end-user dependency for application development team. Despite that, it still lacks in term of verification and validation process, as testing is still done manually inside these meta-tools. We propose a high level visual test specification model that is embedded inside DSVL meta-tool. This will allow end-user to self validate their DSVL using model provided. 1. Introduction Recent advancement in DSVL meta-tool applications has significantly increased the number of end-user using meta-tools to create DSVL. Tools flexibility and good support from tools provider have boost end-user confidence toward to the tools. Tools like Marama [1] and Microsoft DSL [2] are two good examples for meta-tool. Marama is a set of tools built on top of Eclipse. It is an open source project that provides a set of meta-tools to specify complex diagram-based meta-models, shapes and connectors and views. Meanwhile, Microsoft DSL is an extension from Microsoft Visual Studio where you can define a modeling language and describes the user interface easily. It then will generate code from descriptions provided by end-user. If previously end-user needs to rely on application developer to create DSVL, now they can do it on their own. Meta-tool provide a specific platform for a specific task in a given problem domain. A same problem domain can contain multiple DSVL solution that fit each end-user needs. Customization on modeling tools is the main feature of DSVL meta-tools. Overall, all meta-tools provide a graphical user interface where user can specify the... ... middle of paper ... ...ogy: New Generations, 2009. ITNG '09. Sixth International Conference on. 2009. 16.

This testing level will also occur during the early development of the application but not until each of one of the subsystem’s unit functions have been fully tested and are ready to be implemented. While all three subsystems, financial, appointments, and patient records may not be tested in tandem each should be able to have basic testing performed with the use of test cases for input. Once they have completed testing, we could then use the same or similar test cases for the integration level testing of all subsystems.
Different application types require the use of various development techniques for a number of reasons. The below are a few such reasons:

Security is a wide concept, it is a separated subject with its own theories, "which focus on the process of attack and on preventing, detecting and recovering from attacks" (William 1996). Certainly, these processes should be well organized in coping with the complex system issues. A coherent approach should be taken, which builds on established security standards, procedu...

While developing a software many complex activities are required which in turn have dependencies along them. Large software projects require the involvement of programmers, documentation specialists, program managers, architects, database analysts, system analysts, , and trainers and last but not the least testers. Along with their independent responsibilities these persons are also responsible to maintain and keep a check on the software system quality as well.

Component Based Architecture creates a system that is easily extensible, promotes software reuse and intuitively understandable. A component often relates to an object in Object Orientated Programming. The RUP provides a systematic way to build this kind of system, focusing on producing an early executable architecture before committing full resources on a project.
Requirements engineering begins during the communication activity, continues into the modeling activity, and builds a bridge from the system requirements into software design and construction. Through requirements engineering, there is an examination of the context of software work performed. It is essential for the software engineering team to understand all requirements of a problem before the team tries to solve the problem. An identification of specific needs that the design and construction must address is also included. Further is a need for the identification of the priorities that guides the order for the completion of work. This i...
Software engineering is important in today’s society because we use the products of software engineering almost daily. We use the products of software engineering in objects as simple as our car keys to objects as complicated as supercomputers. The past, present, and future of software engineering is quite interesting. This paper will provide information about this field of study and why software engineering is going to be around a while.
