Abstract
Like any piece of software, model transformations must be validated to ensure their usefulness for the intended application. Properties to be validated include syntactic correctness as well as general requirements such as termination and confluence (i.e., the existence of a unique result of the transformation for every valid input). This paper introduces the idea of systematic validation and then focusses on validation of syntactic correctness for rule-based model transformations
