Simulated user agents are increasingly used in usability testing to support fast, iterative UX workflows, as they generate rich data such as action logs and think-aloud reasoning, but the unstructured nature of this output often obscures…
As the uni-cultural studies of website usability have matured, the paucity of cross-cultural studies of usability become increasingly apparent. Moving toward these cross-cultural studies will require the development of a new tool to assess…
Usability evaluation has received considerable attention from both the research and practice communities. While there are many evaluation tools available, the Software Usability Scale (SUS) is the most widely used. In this paper, we…
Usability testing with experts and potential users can assess the effectiveness, efficiency, and user satisfaction of graphical user interfaces (GUIs) but doing so remains a costly and time-intensive process. Prior work has used computer…
Usability is used to assess the effectiveness of a software product from the user point of view. Hence, proper methodologies and techniques to perform this assessment are very relevant. Heuristic evaluation is probably the most commonly…
The aim of this paper is to review some work conducted in the field of user testing that aims at specifying or clarifying the test procedures and at defining and developing tools to help conduct user tests. The topics that have been…
Software estimation is a crucial task in software engineering. Software estimation encompasses cost, effort, schedule, and size. The importance of software estimation becomes critical in the early stages of the software life cycle when the…
Increasing number of cyber-attacks demotivate people to use Information and Communication Technology (ICT) for industrial as well as day to day work. A main reason for the increasing number of cyber-attacks is mistakes that programmers make…
Usability engineering is situated in a much larger social and institutional context than is usually acknowledged by usability professionals in the way that they define their field. The definitions and processes used in the improvement of…
automated Production Systems (aPS) are highly complex, mechatronic systems that usually have to operate reliably for many decades. Standardization and reuse of control software modules is a core prerequisite to achieve the required system…
The fundamental step in measuring the robustness of a system is the synthesis of the so called Process Map.This is generally based on the user raw data material.Process Maps are of fundamental importance towards the understanding of the…
Test automation is important in software industry but self-assessment instruments for assessing its maturity are not sufficient. The two objectives of this study are to synthesize what an organization should focus to assess its test…
The development and enhancement of methods for evaluating software accessibility is a relevant challenge in modern software engineering, as ensuring equal access to digital services is a key factor in improving their efficiency and…
Context: Predicting software project effort from Use Case Points (UCP) method is increasingly used among researchers and practitioners. However, unlike other effort estimation domains, this area of interest has not been systematically…
Agile methods provide an organization or a team the flexibility to adopt a selected subset of principles and practices based on their culture, their values, and the types of systems that they develop. More specifically, every organization…
Artificial intelligence (AI) has revolutionized decision-making processes and systems throughout society and, in particular, has emerged as a significant technology in high-impact scenarios of national interest. Yet, despite AI's impressive…
Objective: This research explores using crowdsourcing for software usability evaluation. Background: Usability studies are essential for designing user-friendly software, but traditional methods are often costly and time-consuming.…
Providing an equitable and inclusive user experience (UX) for people with disabilities (PWD) is a central goal of accessible design. In the specific case of Deaf users, whose hearing impairments impact language development and…
One of the primary drivers for self-adaptation is ensuring that systems achieve their goals regardless of the uncertainties they face during operation. Nevertheless, the concept of uncertainty in self-adaptive systems is still…
Despite years of research on testing the usability of mobile applications, our understanding of the issues their users experience still remains fragmented and underexplored. While most earlier studies has provided interesting insights, they…
