Increasing usability for web engineering methods

Abstract

Usability is considered to be one of the most important quality factors for products, and accordingly, there are a number of MDWE methods existing which can develop web applications. With the rapid evolution of web applications, existing MDWE methods has a number of weaknesses was appeared in the process development web applications; one of the issues is usability problem. There are many factors to increase usability of MDWE methods such as adaptability, lifecycle, user interface and so on. In this paper, we define a new framework to increase usability for MDWE methods through two important factors that are adaptability and lifecycle. Increased usability will ultimately lead to increased quality of the methods. Furthermore, increased quality of web engineering solutions would subsequently lead to improved usability for websites and web applications.

Enhancing Interaction Flow Modeling Language Metamodels for Designing Features of Rich Internet Applications

“…In this section, we define a new approach for enhancing IFML through extension metamodels to develop RIA features. Here we adopt our previous approach for extension IFML metamodels as presented in [35], before extending IFML metamodels should highlight the RIA features and explain how added to IFML models, then we can extend it based on the new features as shown in Fig .3.…”

Extracting the Features of Modern Web Applications based on Web Engineering Methods

“…Brambilla and Ceri in [34] described several models and abstractions which have been progressively designed to capture new forms of data-centered interactions in the last twenty-five years, a period of huge changes due to the spreading of web-based applications and the increasingly relevant role of social interactions in web engineering methods. There are many works [35][36][37][38][39][40][41][42][43][44][45] exist on web engineering methods for designing MWAs, but the features not presented adequately.…”
