Abstract

Quality assessment of user interface (UI) has been largely studied in the last years. Several methods, tools and quality models have been proposed. On the other hand, with the diversity of computing platforms, interaction devices and styles, the automatic generation of UI with Model Driven Architecture (MDA) paradigm has also gained space. In this context, some questions come out: How to fit the traditional effort of UI quality assessment to this new paradigm? Can we use the existing quality models? Can we monitor the quality produced throughout the UI design in MDA infrastructure? Can we improve this quality? With those questions in mind we start to analyze some quality models and we propose some ideas of how to integrate quality evaluation in MDA structure.
