Agile Model Driven Development: An Intelligent Compromise

Both the model-driven and agile development approaches have significantly enhanced productivity and predictability of software development in practice. Agile Model Driven Development or AMDD is an attempt to effectively bring together the fast pace of agile development and the guaranteed quality of model-driven development. Despite the proliferation of processes claim to comply with
AMDD principles, there has been little academic research examining merits and demerits of such an approach. This paper first presents the underlying theoretical foundations of AMDD and then reviews, classifies and compares existing AMDD processes. The results indicate significant disparity
between compared processes that implies the AMDD concepts are still in their infancy.
