This paper describes further analysis on the
evaluation of OO-method Function Points for the Web
(OOmFPWeb), a functional size measurement method
for Web applications. OOmFPWeb was evaluated
using a range of performance-based and perceptionbased
variables including productivity, reproducibility,
perceived ease of use, perceived usefulness, and
intention to use. The evaluation was guided by an
evaluation model for information systems design
methods, the Method Evaluation Model (MEM). In this
work, we present the empirical testing of the MEM to
verify the validity of this model in the evaluation of
OOmFPWeb. It includes the analysis of causal
relationships existing among the different variables of
the model. The results show that the MEM is a reliable
and valid instrument for evaluating OOmFPWeb but
the relationships among productivity, perceived ease
of use and intention to use needs to be revised.
