Model-driven system development: Experimental design and report of the   pilot experiment
  This report describes de design of an experiment that intends to compare two variants of a modeldriven system development method, so as to assess the impact of requirements engineering practice in the quality of the conceptual models. The conceptual modelling method being assessed is the OO-Method [Pastor and Molina 2007]. One of its variants includes Communication Analysis, a communication-oriented requirements engineering method [Espa\~na, Gonz\'alez et al. 2009] and a set of guidelines to derive conceptual models from requirements models [Espa\~na, Ruiz et al. 2011; Gonz\'alez, Espa\~na et al. 2011]. The other variant is an ad-hoc, text-based requirements practice similar to the one that is applied in industrial projects by OO-Method practitioners. The goal of the research, summarised according to the Goal/Question/Metric template [Basili and Rombach 1988], is to:   *) analyse the resulting models of two model-based information systems analysis method variants; namely, the OO-Method (OOM) and the integration of Communication Analysis and the OO-Method (CA+OOM),   *) for the purpose of carrying out a comparative evaluation   *) with respect to performance of the subject and acceptance of the method;   *) from the viewpoint of the information systems researcher   *) in the context of bachelor students.
