Abstract
Model-driven engineering (MDE) approaches provide the well-known advantage of software development at a higher level of abstraction. However, in the web engineering domain such approaches still encounter difficulties mainly due to applications that are continuously evolving and the heterogeneity of web technologies. Instead of fully automated generation, we look at MDE as assisting the web engineer in different phases of the software development life cycle. In particular, we use model-to-model transformations to support the generation of model sketches of the different concerns from a requirements specification. In this work, we present a metric to measure the effort reduction that results from applying this kind of model-driven approach. We use the metric to evaluate models of six web applications in the context of UML-based Web Engineering (UWE).
