Toward Computer-Aided Usability Evaluation Evolving Interactive Software.
Yonglei Tao · 2007
Recurrent redesign on an application’s user interface is driven by changing requirements, user profiles and experiences, as well as technologies. User interface evolution also has impact to the application itself, which imposes a great challenge on providing tool support to ensure a smooth transformation in this process. We in this paper explore the suitability of using an aspect-oriented approach to computer-aided usability evaluation. Using aspects, a support tool is not only flexible for collecting data to address diverse usability considerations in the evolution process but also adaptable to continuous changes in the application. We also discuss our future research on other relevant issues about such a tool.
