This paper presents some related work on quality frameworks and requirements for evaluating them. It also discusses characteristics of model-driven engineering that are important when building a quality framework, such as its use of models in several stages of development and maintenance, generation of other artifacts from models and its multi-abstraction level approach that requires consistency and traceability. We present a 7-step process on how to define a quality framework that is adapted to model-driven engineering, and which integrates quality engineering with quality evaluation. As an example, the framework is applied on transformation quality. We maintain that the transformation process and transformation mapping should be discussed separately, as they require different approaches, and suggest quality goals, quality-carrying properties to achieve the quality goals and methods for evaluating these properties.
