Resumen

Model-driven development (MDD) is an application development paradigm that prioritizes the construction of models instead of code, offering several advantages. In this context, tools play an important role in supporting MDD more efficiently. Several tools have been proposed for model-driven web development (MDWD), and it is necessary to identify the characteristics of those tools. This study is aimed at identifying and classifying published articles related to MDWD tools. A systematic mapping study was thus performed using eight relevant digital databases. When searches were performed on specified strings, 1,654 articles were obtained. After the selection process, 79 articles were considered primary studies for addressing the nine research questions posed. The publication of articles on MDWD tools is consistent, indicating that research will continue in this field. Unified modeling language in the context of MDWD tools is the most reported notation type in the literature. Finally, code generation and productivity increase were reported to be the main benefits of MDWD tools.
