Abstract

QuEF (Quality Evaluation Framework) is an environment to evaluate, through objective measures, the quality of Model-Driven Web 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.
