ABSTRACT:
A method and system for guided resolution of inter-model inconsistencies are provided. A method includes grouping inconsistencies, detected as a result of a model-driven software development process, into model partitions within a list by analyzing relationships between the underlying models and identifying model partitions that are capable of being processed independently from one another during a resolution process. The method also includes assigning priorities to models that contribute to the detected inconsistencies and inconsistency types. The method further includes reordering the list of inconsistencies to minimize the number of context switches during the resolution process and presenting, via a user interface screen, a listing of the inconsistencies and associated resolutions resulting from the reordering to the user at a client system. The user applies a selected resolution for each of the inconsistencies.
