A Quality Model in a Quality Evaluation Framework for MDWE methodologies
Nowadays, diverse development methodologies exist in the field of Model-Driven Web Engineering (MDWE), each of which covers different levels of abstraction on Model-Driven Architecture (MDA): CIM, PIM, PSM and Code. Given the high number of methodologies available, it is necessary to evaluate the quality of existing methodologies and provide helpful information to the developers. Furthermore, proposals are constantly appearing and the need may arise not only to evaluate the quality but also to find out how it can be improved. In this context, QuEF (Quality Evaluation Framework) can be employed to assess the quality of MDWE methodologies. This article presents the work being carried out and describes tasks to define a Quality Model component for QuEF. This component would be responsible for providing the basis for specifying quality requirements with the purpose of evaluating quality.Ministerio de Educación y Ciencia TIN2007-67843-C06-03Ministerio de Educación y Ciencia TIN2007-30391-
QuEF (Quality Evaluation Framework) for Model-Driven Web Methodologies
QuEF (Quality Evaluation Framework) is an environment for the assessment of Model-Driven Web Engineering (MDWE) methodologies. This approach is oriented towards the evaluation, through objectives measures, of the quality of MDWE methodologies in a specific environment. Given the high number of methodologies available and proposed over recent years, it has become necessary to define objective evaluation tools to enable organizations to improve their methodological environment and help designers of web methodologies to design new effective and efficient tools, processes and techniques. Since methodologies are constantly evolving, the need may arise not only to evaluate the quality but also to find out how it can be improved and how the quality improvement process could be optimized in order to reduce costs.Ministerio de Educación y Ciencia TIN2007-67843-C06_03Ministerio de Educación y Ciencia TIN2007- 30391-
QuEF: An environment for the assesment of MDWE methodologies
This paper presents QuEF (Quality Evaluation
Framework), an environment for the assesment of Model-Driven
Web Engineering (MDWE) methodologies. This approach is
oriented to evaluate, through objectives measures, the quality of
MDWE methodologies in a specific environment. Given the high
number of methodologies available and proposed in the last
years, it has become necessary to define objective evaluation tools
to enable development teams to improve their methodological
environment and help designers of web methodologies design
new effective and efficient tools, processes and techniques. Since
methodologies are constantly evolving, the need may arise not
only to evaluate the quality but also to find out how it can be
improved and how the quality improvement process could be
optimize in order to reduce costs. Besides, an example of
application to the NDT (Navigational Development Techniques)
methodology is presented and the Functionality of the NDT
methodology is evaluated in terms of MDE and Maturity
characteristics.Ministerio de Educación y Ciencia TIN2007-67843-C06-03Ministerio de Educación y Ciencia TIN2007-30391-
A quality management based on the Quality Model life cycle
Managing quality is a hard and expensive task that involves the execution and control of processes and techniques.
For a good quality management, it is important to know the current state and the objective to be
achieved. It is essential to take into account with a Quality Model that specifies the purposes of managing
quality. QuEF (Quality Evaluation Framework) is a framework to manage quality in MDWE (Model-driven
Web Engineering). This paper suggests managing quality but pointing out the Quality Model life cycle. The
purpose is to converge toward a quality continuous improvement by means of reducing effort and time.Ministerio de Ciencia e Innovación TIN2010-20057-C03-02Ministerio de Ciencia e Innovación TIN 2010-12312-EJunta de AndalucÃa TIC-578
Quality Issues on Model-Driven Web Engineering Methodologies
Nowadays, there are several development methodologies in the field of
model-driven web engineering (MDWE) which involve different levels of modeldriven
architecture (MDA): CIM, PIM, PSM, or code. Attending to the high number
of available methodologies, development teams may feel lost when choosing the
most suitable one for their projects. Furthermore, proposals usually appear and
people feel necessary to evaluate their quality in order to select the appropriate
methodology or even to find out the way to improve them. This chapter presents
the current work carried out in this field and it is oriented toward the definition of a
framework which enables an objective measurement of the proposals’ benefits.Ministerio de Educación y Ciencia TIN2007-67843-C06-03Ministerio de Educación y Ciencia TIN2007-30391-
Studying Maintainability on Model-Driven Web Methodologies
QuEF (Quality Evaluation Framework) is an environment to evaluate,
through objective measures, the quality of Model-DrivenWeb Engineering (MDWE)
methodologies. In this paper, this environment is presented and is used for the evaluation
of the Maintainability in terms of various characteristics on MDWE. Given
the high number of methodologies available and proposed over recent years, it has
become necessary to define objective evaluation tools to enable organizations to improve
their methodological environment and to help designers of web methodologies
design new effective and efficient tools, processes and techniques and find out how
it can be improved and how the quality improvement process could be optimized in
order to reduce costs. This evaluation is applied to the NDT (Navigational Development
Techniques) methodology, an approach that covers the complete life cycle and
it is mainly oriented to the enterprise environment.Ministerio de Educación y Ciencia TIN2007–67843-C06-03Ministerio de Educación y Ciencia TIN2010–20057-C03–0
Quality evaluation for Model-Driven Web Engineering methodologies
Context: There are lots of approaches or methodologies in the Model-Driven Web Engineering (MDWE)
context to develop Web Applications without reaching a consensus on the use of standards and scarcity
of both, practical experience and tool support.
Objective: Model-Driven Web Engineering (MDWE) methodologies are constantly evolving. Moreover,
Quality is a very important factor to identify within a methodology as it defines processes, techniques
and artifacts to develop Web Applications. For this reason, when analyzing a methodology, it is not only
necessary to evaluate quality, but also to find out how to improve it. The main goal of this paper is to
develop a set of Quality Characteristics and Sub-Characteristics for MDWE approaches based on ISO/
IEC standards.
Method: From the software products context, some widely standards proposed, such as ISO/IEC 9126 or
ISO/IEC 25000, suggest a Quality Model for software products, although up to now, there are no standard
methods to assess quality on MDWE methodologies. Such methodologies can be organized into Properties,
thus, a methodology has artifacts, processes and techniques. Then, each item is evaluated through a
set of appropriate Quality Characteristics, depending on its nature. This paper proposes to evaluate a
methodology as a product itself.
Results: This paper recommends a set of Quality Characteristics and Sub-Characteristics based on these
standards in order to evaluate MDWE methodologies quality. Additionally, it defines an agile way to
relate these Quality Sub-Characteristics to Properties with the sole purpose of not only analyzing, but also
assessing and improving MDWE methodologies.
Conclusions: The application of these Quality Characteristics and Sub-Characteristics could promote efficiency
in methodologies since this kind of assessment enhances both the understanding of strengths and
weaknesses of approaches.Ministerio de Educación y Ciencia TIN2007-67843-C06-03Ministerio de Educación y Ciencia TIN2010-20057-C03-0
Towards a homogeneous characterization of the model-driven web development methodologies
In recent years a large number of Model-Driven Web development approaches have been designed and
are being applied with success in real environments. However, as new ones are frequently emerging in
this changing time, authors have to change and update them constantly and, consequently; development
teams do not know which is the most suitable for them because in many cases it depends on their
project scope. Furthermore, approaches are usually appearing with different concepts and terminologies
in many cases, although all lack the use of standards and practical experience. Thus, the need of
managing quality in this type of approach arises every day. This paper suggests a characterization of
these methodologies in order to use this information for the quality management of Model-Driven Web
development methodologies for authors and development teams alike. In addition, an experimental
study in order to analyse and evaluate a Model-Driven Web development methodology (the NDT
methodology) has been carried out within a specific work context.Junta de AndalucÃa TIC-5789Ministerio de Educación y Ciencia TIN2010-20057-C03-0
