When performed on a model, a set of operations (e.g., queries or model transformations) rarely uses all the information present in the model. Unintended underuse of a model can indicate various problems: the model may contain more detail than necessary or the operations may be immature or erroneous. Analyzing the footprints of the operations - i.e., the part of a model actually used by an operation - is a simple technique to diagnose and analyze such problems. In this report, we present the implementation of static and dynamic footprinting approaches for operations written in Kermeta. We also present the models and model operations used for the comparison of these approaches.
