Abstract:
Model-Driven Architecture (MDA)-Based Web Engineering (MDWE) techniques are commonly used in the development of web applications. These methodologies enable the development of well-designed web applications, which in turn enable the automatic generation of high-level models into executable implementations. There are currently many MDWE methodologies available, therefore choosing one over the other is a crucial decision. Six evaluators participated in the asynchronous online focus groups technique utilized in this research study to collect qualitative data regarding the Web Site Design Method MDA-Based (WSDMDA), an MDA-based and Audience-Driven MDWE methodology, in order to complete the assessment process. Following that, the collected qualitative data was examined using the Quality Evaluation Framework (QuEF) to evaluate the WSDMDA methodology's quality of functionality, which consists of two features and six sub-characteristics. Because of one of initiator of NDT methodology has also participate in WSDMDA evaluation, the comparison has been conducted between NDA and WSDMDA. The findings demonstrate that WSDMDA has superior functionality with regard to Web Modeling feature and all Quality Sub-characteristics like Interoperability, Transformability, and Flexibility. This study significantly demonstrates how approaches can be methodically assessed to determine their advantages and disadvantages when applied to actual web development situations. This offers a structured approach to MDA-Based MDWE methodologies evaluation that not only helps developers choose the best procedures for their projects but also enhances the scholarly conversation.
