Evaluating the Quality in Use of Domain-Specific Languages in an Agile Way

To deal with the increasing complexity of the software systems to be developed, it is important to have high level approaches to development that support such complexity at affordable costs. This fosters the development of Domain-Specific Languages (DSLs) that are claimed to bring important productivity improvements to software developers. Because of that, the quality of the users interaction with this kind of technology is becoming of utmost importance. The goal of this research is to contribute to the systematic activity of software language engineering by focusing on the issue of quality in use evaluation of DSLs, in which design decisions are validated iteratively
