This thesis is on the automatic creation of model generators to assist the validation of model transformations. The model driven software development methodology advocates models as the main artefact to represent software during development. Such models are automatically converted, by transformation tools, to apply in different stages of development. In one application of the method, it becomes possible to synthesise software implementations from design models. However, the transformations used to convert models are man-made, and so prone to development error. An error in a transformation can
