“…Além disso, segundo Juristo et al [13], alguns dos benefícios de incluir Usabilidade no processo de desenvolvimento são: (a) melhorar a facilidade de uso das interfaces, (b) aumentar a produtividade, e (c) reduzir o tempo e os custos no desenvolvimento, treinamento do usuário, documentação e manutenção de software. Portanto, esta pesquisa é motivada pela necessidade de técnicas que possam ser empregadas por projetistas de dispositivos móveis que estejam dispostos a melhorar a qualidade de suas aplicações móveis em relação a Usabilidade e a UX.…”

O desenvolvimento de aplicações móveis tornou-se uma atividade que exige cuidados, devido às características e limitações dos dispositivos móveis, o que acaba influenciando na Experiência do Usuário (User eXperience - UX) e na Usabilidade. Estes aspectos de qualidade estão relacionados com a satisfação do usuário, bem como seus sentimentos e emoções ao utilizar estas aplicações. Contudo, por meio de um Mapeamento Sistemático da Literatura realizado nesta pesquisa, notou-se que poucos estudos abordam sobre a utilização em conjunto da UX e Usabilidade no projeto de aplicações móveis. Portanto, esta pesquisa apresenta uma proposta inicial de uma técnica chamada Usability and User eXperience Design Technique for Mobile Application (UUDT-MA), que contém recomendações referentes ao projeto de aplicações móveis, integrando princípios de UX e Usabilidade, com o intuito de apoiar os projetistas nas fases iniciais de desenvolvimento de aplicações móveis.

“…Therefore, in order to improve the quality of applications, it is necessary to integrate the approaches proposed by the HCI and SE areas. With this integration, there will be a mutual understanding between the two areas, ensuring that problems encountered in the development of the application are handled properly throughout the development process (Juristo et al, 2007). Several researches have been investigating how to integrate the areas of HCI and SE.…”

“…Several researches have been investigating how to integrate the areas of HCI and SE. One of the existing proposals is to incorporate the methods and techniques proposed in HCI, which focus on improving the usability of applications, in the development processes proposed by SE (Fischer, 2012;Nebe and Paelke, 2009;Juristo et al, 2007).…”

“…Integrating usability in the development process has several benefits such as reduction of documentation and training costs, as well as improving the productivity of the practitioners (Carvajal, 2009). Usability is one of the critical success factors of applications (Juristo et al, 2007) and an important criterion for the acceptance of applications by end users (Conte et al, 2010).…”

With the increasing use of interactive applications, there is a need for a development with better quality and a good interaction that facilitates the use for end users, because such applications are increasingly present in daily life. Therefore, it is necessary to include usability, which is one of the important quality attributes, in the development process for obtaining good acceptance rates and, consequently, improving the quality of these applications. In this paper we present a Systematic Mapping Study (SM) that assists categorizing and summarizing technologies that have been used in order to improve usability. The results from our SM show some technologies that can help improving usability in various applications. Also, it identifies gaps that still need to be researched. We found that most technologies have been proposed for the Testing phase (67.28%) and that Web applications are the most evaluated type of application (52.65%). We also identified that few technologies assist designers improving usability in the early stages of the development process (13.50% Analysis phase and 15.95% Design phase). The results from this SM allow observing the state of the art regarding technologies that can be integrated into the development process, aimed at improving the usability of interactive applications.

“…Including usability allows benefits such as improving user productivity and reducing training and documentation costs [2]. Therefore, a large number of researchers have investigated ways to include usability in software development [3], [4]. Donahue [5] says that investments in usability have allowed benefits such as income increase.…”

-Usability inspections can be employed in early phases of the software development process. They improve usability through artifacts that are built during the development of the software. These artifacts will influence the usability of the developed software. Usability inspection techniques have been proposed and considered as an effective alternative for addressing usability issues in early phases. However, these techniques are often avoided by software engineers due to their lack of experience and knowledge in the field. Therefore, there is an opportunity to investigate how industry practitioners have employed an early usability inspection technique in practice. This paper describes an observational study in the industry aimed at eliciting the process used by software engineers when applying an early usability inspection technique. We analyzed the qualitative data, discussing their impact in the improvement of the technique. The results indicated which steps the software engineers adopted in the technique's application.
