Abstract

In this paper we present the WebREd-Tool, a set of Eclipse plugins that have been developed to assist the designer in the early phases of a Web application development process. With the WebREd-Tool, the designer can specify the Web application requirements by using the i* goal-oriented framework. The WebREd-Tool assists the designer to compare different configurations of functional requirements, while balancing and optimizing non-functional requirements. The underlying algorithm to support this is based on the Pareto efficiency, but to help the designer to better assess and compare each configuration, the WebREd-Tool is also able to visualize each configurations using a radar-chart.
