AN ANALYSIS MODEL TO EVALUATE WEB APPLICATIONS QUALITY USING A DISCRETE-EVENT SIMULATION APPROACH

The architectural design can be considered the earliest specification of any software. When the architectural components are used to describe a simulation model, the architecture can be used as a vehicle to estimate the behavior of the final product. In this paper, an analysis model to evaluate web applications quality is proposed. The approach mix an ontological perspective to understand quality properties and an adaptation of Discrete Event System Specification (DEVS) formalism to develop the set of simulation models required to represent the software architecture.
