What is Automating UI guidelines verification by leveraging pattern based UI and model based development about?

In large enterprises different teams work on different parts of a big software application. Therefore, retaining user interaction paradigms and concepts becomes important. However, during the development of a large software product, these principles and paradigms get progressively diluted, due to trade-offs, differences in interpretation, communication errors and many other reasons. In order to remain true to design rationale and communicating them to a wider audience/consumers, often User Interface (UI) Style Guide are created. The style guide attempts to sensitize and educate its consumers about design principles and document some of these design rationales for references. However, the usability, usage and adoption of these UI guidelines within an organization are topics frequently discussed and debated in several forums for years. Post the 'design and definition phase' of software development lifecycle, UI designers are often required to do 'quality checks' as the UIs get developed. Despite painstakingly defining every interaction to its finest level of granularity, in practice the guidelines are often not followed or interpreted incorrectly.
