“…In a previous work [26], we have extracted the properties that are needed to configure a set of usability features defined by Juristo [17] and called FUFs (Functional Usability Features). From all the sets of usability features that can be found in the literature, we chose FUFs because it is a set specific for management information systems, which are the target systems of our work.…”

Abstract. Holistic methods for Model-Driven Development (MDD) aim to model all the system features in a conceptual model. This conceptual model is the input for a model compiler that can generate software systems by means of automatic transformations. However, in general, MDD methods focus on modelling the structure and functionality of systems, relegating the interaction and usability features to manual implementations at the last steps of the software development process. Some usability features are strongly related to the functionality of the system and their inclusion is not so easy. In order to facilitate the inclusion of functional usability features from the first steps of the development process and bring closer MDD methods to the holistic perspective, we propose a Usability Model. The Usability Model gathers conceptual primitives that represent functional usability features in a sufficiently abstract way so that the model can be used with different holistic MDD methods. This paper defines all the primitives that can be used to represent functional usability features. Moreover, we have defined a process to include the Usability Model in any MDD method without affecting its existing conceptual model. The proposal is based on model-to-model and model-to-code transformations. As proof of concept, we have applied our proposal to an existing MDD method called OOMethod and we have measured its efficiency.

“…In particular, we plan to incorporate rules that are related to the interaction models of MDD approaches focusing on new characteristics defined for models of this kind, such as [Aquino et al 2010] [Panach et al 2008]. Taking into account that there are several MDD approaches that do not have a defined interaction model defined, our quality model for defect detection can be used as a reference to improve these approaches.…”
