Model transformation is a central concept in model-driven development approach, having the capability to generate the system code from a conceptual model that specifies the system abstractly. We notice the lack of model transformation technologies that deal with usability from the first step of the transformation process. Usability features are usually implemented later once the system code is generated. In the present work we propose a strategy to deal with usability in a model transformation technology. We show that the selection of alternative transformation based on usability criteria ensure that the target model will maximize these criteria
