Adding a Command Line Interface to enable V-SUM(M) usage without programming

[NeumannDirk]

I would like to request the addition of a Command Line Interface (CLI) to this project. A CLI would provide users with a convenient way to interact with the application via terminal commands, improving efficiency and automation capabilities.

(Proposed) Expected Behavior:

1. Users should be able to configure their desired V-SUM via CLI
2. after configuration phase the user can use the V-SUM to create and manipulate the V-SUM
3. the CLI should offer commands to load and save artifacts as well as a verbose feedback

Configuration of the V-SUM

• adding metamodels
• adding reactions
• (adding view descriptions)

Using the V-SUM

• create models
• manipulate models by (loading prepared changes) in some file format
  • make sure this is easily replacable ("common notion of change")
• retrieve the repairing changes create by V-SUM and save them

Saving and Loading

• at some point when the user is done: save all the created models of the V-SUM and correspondence model
  • and maybe a hash of the metamodels and reactions and views
• load the checkpoint from lasttime
  • load the V-SUMM-config file and recreate the V-SUM
  • load the V-SUM artifacts and load them to continue editing

Testing (also for Methodologist core development?)

• define test cases
  • load V-SUMM and V-SUM, define expected output and change-to-be-applied
  • execute, compare results, verbosity, save results

Any remarks? Reach out to me. Looking forward to your feedback. Thanks!
