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.
