Abstract: The cost of information systems development is one of the basic factors that the company considers when making a decision for developing these systems. The use of traditional methods in the system development is costly for the company. So that using the Model Driven Architecture (MDA) technique will reduce the cost of building the information system of the company on the one hand and reduce the cost of developing the system as a result of the rapid change in the system requirements on the other hand. The research focuses on studying the amount of reduction of the cost that can be achieved as a result of using the model driven architecture technique. The research found that the use of this technique will reduce the phase of writing code by up to 70% of the cost of writing code. Several factors control this rate including the size and complexity of the systems and the degree of completeness of the tool used in the transformation as well as the experience of the work team to deal with this tool. Also, the research found that it is possible to reduce the cost of documentation and testing.
