Paper Abstract:
|
The increasing interest on mobile technologies as well as the evolutionary context in which mobile applications are developed, have made the usability evaluation of these applications an important research area. However, usability evaluations are often avoided by developers or companies due to their lack of experience in the field. For this reason, in this paper we propose and evaluate of a new usability inspection technique that are specific for evaluating Web mobile applications, the UBICUA (Usability-Based Inspection CUstomizable Approach). In our solution, we propose a customizable approach that is based on the inspector knowledge, resulting in greater usability defect identification as well as encouraging the use of usability inspection by the developers. In this paper, we also show and discuss the results of a feasibility study through a quantitative analysis. |
