Value-Driven Analysis and Design (VDAD) Support

Context Mapper offers tool support for multiple steps of the Value-Driven Analysis and Design process (such as Stakeholder Mapping and Value Impact Mapping) as well as Story Valuation by Ethical Software Engineering (ESE).

Language Features

The following pages document the CML features that support modelling stakeholders of a project or system and the ethical values important to them:

Transformations

Context Mapper provides several transformations that ease the modelling of stakeholders and their values. These transformations are documented here.

Generators

By using the language features mentioned above, you can automatically generate:

Stakeholder Maps with our PlantUML generator
Value Impact Maps with our PlantUML generator
CSV files with the stakeholder data by using our Generic Generator (Freemarker Templating)
CSV files with the value register data by using our Generic Generator (Freemarker Templating)

Note: The freemarker templates can be found here.
