【 摘 要 】

The increasing growth of the Web field has promoted the develop-ment of a plethora of Model-Driven Web Engineering (MDWE) approaches.These methodologies share a top-down approach: they start by modeling appli- cation content, then they define a navigational schema, and finally refine thelatter to obtain presentation and rich behavior specifications. Such approachmakes it difficult to acquire quick feedback from customers. Conversely, agilemethods follow a non-structured, implementation-centered process buildingsoftware prototypes to get immediate feedback. In this work we propose anagile approach to MDWE methodologies (called Mockup-Driven Development,or MockupDD) by inverting the development process: we start from user inter- face mockups that facilitate the generation of software prototypes and models,then we enrich them and apply heuristics in order to obtain software specifica- tions at different abstraction levels. As a result, we get an agile prototype-basediterative process, with advantages of a MDWE one.
