“…The first one was to study factors that affected input accuracy, for instance, visual distraction, user's sensorimotor coordination, blindness, and aging [87][88][89][90][91]. The second one was to improve input accuracy, for instance, changing keyboard layouts and increasing input feedback [92,93].…”

“…The study was, however, based on accessibility guidelines for websites (e.g., W3C, WDG) as there was a lack of guidelines for mobile context [87]. A set of design recommendations for elderly users was presented by De Barros et al [88]. The recommendations covered navigation, interaction, and visual design, but the recommendation did not address specific differences between desktop and mobile devices.…”

“…The recommendations covered navigation, interaction, and visual design, but the recommendation did not address specific differences between desktop and mobile devices. Moreover, they were based merely on observation [88]. This illustrates the need of empirically based guidelines to assist designers in designing accessible applications in mobile context.…”

Mobile platforms have called for attention from HCI practitioners, and, ever since 2007, touchscreens have completely changed mobile user interface and interaction design. Some notable differences between mobile devices and desktops include the lack of tactile feedback, ubiquity, limited screen size, small virtual keys, and high demand of visual attention. These differences have caused unprecedented challenges to users. Most of the mobile user interface designs are based on desktop paradigm, but the desktop designs do not fully fit the mobile context. Although mobile devices are becoming an indispensable part of daily lives, true standards for mobile UI design patterns do not exist. This article provides a systematic literature review of the existing studies on mobile UI design patterns. The first objective is to give an overview of recent studies on the mobile designs. The second objective is to provide an analysis on what topics or areas have insufficient information and what factors are concentrated upon. This article will benefit the HCI community in seeing an overview of present works, to shape the future research directions.

“…Users are giving predefined tasks to be accomplished and their behavior while interacting with the apps may be recorded and later analyzed [9]. The reported results are used to highlight some usability issues which are considered relevant for the improvement of mobile apps usability [10]. In addition, the reported results may lead to some recommendations regarding applications design [11].…”

Usability evaluation of mobile applications (referred to as apps) is an emerging research area in the field of Software Engineering. Several research studies have focused their interest on the challenge of usability evaluation in mobile context. Typically, the usability is measured once the mobile apps is implemented. At this stage of the development process, it is costly to go back and makes the required changes in the design in order to overcome usability problems. Model-driven Engineering (MDE) was proven as a promising solution for this problem. In such approach, a model can be build and analyzed early in the design cycle to identify key characteristics like usability. The traceability established between this model and the final application by means of model transformation plays a key role to preserve its usability or even improve it. This paper attempts to review existing usability studies and subsequently propose a usability model for conducting early usability evaluation for mobile apps generated with an MDE tool. 141 | P a g e www.ijacsa.thesai.org of effectiveness, efficiency, satisfaction, learnability and security.Nielsen [8] identified five attributes four usability: Efficiency, Satisfaction, Learnability, Memorability, and Errors.

“…Stakeholders seem not to be aware of the ultimate difficulties of their elderly futures -elderly people are another section of the population that benefits from accessibility in software [10]. Developers, maybe as a reaction to the stakeholder's desires, see as their first priority the simple deploy of their software, instead of the production of a good product.…”

Abstract. The academy can and should have a major role in the promotion of software accessibility. To try to clarify a number of empirical arguments and certainties regarding the usage of accessible, but not assistive, software, the answers to a survey given to 15 blind or low vision people are depicted. To demonstrate how under addressed this topic is by the academy an experiment was made, and its results are portrayed. The novel contribution that this paper offers is the relation between relevant accessibility documentation to its appropriate type of user interface, which is intended to encourage the introduction of the topic of software accessibility implementation. Also, a proposal for a first slide, regarding accessibility implementation in software meant to be shown to software engineering students, who should produce accessible software in their future, is presented. As a conclusion, some insights are given and new possible research avenues are depicted.
