i* is a modeling framework for intentional actors (actors, relationships between actors and their intentions) and over with time, it is evaluated to be quite difficult to adopt. In 2016, iStar 2.0 was proposed to be more accessible. Presently there are only two existing iStar 2.0 tools, given from the perspective of validation functionality, both of them validates iStar 2.0 model based on their own representation of each graphical element. Therefore, in this final project, an iStar 2.0 syntax validation method for XML-based model called iStarML 2.0 is proposed. Besides validation, currently there is no tool for i* to iStar 2.0 model translation and iStar 2.0 model to class diagram translation. In this final project a tool with validation, i* to iStar 2.0 and iStar 2.0 to class diagram translation functionalities is proposed and implemented. The tool is able to receive and validate iStarML 2.0 files, translate them into class diagrams, also receive and translate iStarML files to be translated into iStar 2.0 models. After validating and testing existing test cases, the tool is able to handle all cases that comply with iStar 2.0 syntax rule. A validation feature for XML-based iStar 2.0 model may help people to create iStar 2.0 model in compliance with iStar 2.0 syntax rules. The i* to iStar 2.0 translation feature may help i* users to speed up the adoption of iStar 2.0 from i* while the iStar 2.0 to class diagram translation feature might further bridge model GORE models with MDD..
