Desenvolvimento de software para auxílio a avaliação heurística

Abstract

Among the methods used in software usability evaluation, Heuristic Evaluation presents itself as an efficient and low-cost method, when compared to other evaluation methods. As a result of Heuristic Evaluation, each evaluator generates an individual report and later a joint report with other evaluators. This process requires effort in using image and text editing software, which can distract from the evaluation and require a lot of time. In this work, the development of an application to assist the Heuristic Assessment activity will be proposed, offering in a single application all the resources necessary to carry out the process, in order to contribute to the agility and standardization of the assessment process. To survey the characteristics of the software to be developed, an analysis was made of the methods and software commonly used in this type of evaluation and the proposed system will seek to assist the evaluator by making the evaluation process more efficient and practical, offering the specialist the opportunity to centralize all the process in just one tool, designed taking into account the particularities, characteristics and needs of this evaluation method.
