QuEF (Quality Evaluation Framework) for Model-Driven Web Methodologies

Abstract

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.
