Abstract
Software Engineering community has been interested in defining methods and processes to develop software by specifying its data and behavior, but disregarding user interaction. Human-Computer Interaction community has defined techniques oriented to the modeling of the interaction between the user and the system, proposing user-oriented software constructions. In this paper, we show how to lay proper bridges between both visions, by integrating a CTT task model into a sound, model-based software development process. This proposal is underpinned by the MDA-based technology OlivaNova Method Execution, which makes software generation a reality, while still taking the user interaction needs into account
