Automated Data Collection for Usability Evaluation in Early Stages of Application Development
Yonglei Tao · 2008
Abstract – Modern interactive applications are event-driven. User interface events are referred to as those that are generated when the user interacts with the application via its user interface. Relevant user interface events provide crucial data for usability evaluation. Due to iterative design, evaluation, and redesign of the user interface in early stages of application development, automated support for data collection and analysis is desirable. We in this paper describe an aspect-oriented approach to automated data collection and as shown in a case study the data collected with our approach is amenable to subsequent analysis.
