With the increasing popularity of portable devices, web applications correspondence to usability guidelines becomes one of the key factors in user satisfaction and application success. Manual usability evaluation is time and resource consuming. Automated usability evaluation is a solution to overcome aforementioned problems. Existing solutions address the automated usability evaluation mostly during the testing phase of development. That introduces a delay between the moment when the code has been changed and the feedback developer receives, increasing the time and as a result the cost for defect to be fixed. This is a gap we are addressing with Guideliner -- evaluating the conformance of web UI to the set usability guidelines and providing feedback to the developer immediately after the UI has been modified.
