“…Results from the literature review: the structure and parameters of UESim are consistent with the information provided in the related literature [2], [3], [19], [20], [67], [68], [69], [70], [71]. The survey was divided into three parts: the first part contains general questions to classify the population, the second part contains questions regarding UESim structure, and the third part contains questions about UESim behaviour.…”

Abstract.Context: This paper is developed in the context of Usability Engineering. More specifically, it focuses on the use of modelling and simulation to help decision-making in the scope of usability evaluation. Objective:The main goal of this paper is to present UESim: a System Dynamics simulation model to help decisionmaking in the make-up of the usability evaluation team during the process of usability evaluation. Method:To develop this research we followed four main research phases: a) study identification, b) study development, c) running and observation and finally, d) reflexion. In relation with these phases the paper describes the literature revision, the model building and validation, the model simulation and its results and finally the reflexion on it.Results: We developed and validated a model to simulate the usability evaluation process. Through three different simulations we analysed the effects of different compositions of the evaluation team on the outcome of the evaluation. The simulation results show the utility of the model in the decision making of the usability evaluation process by changing the number and expertise of evaluators employed. Conclusion:One of the main advantages of using such a simulation model is that it allows developers to observe the evolution of the key indicators of the evaluation process over time. UESim represents a customisable tool to help decision-making in the management of the usability evaluation process, since it makes it possible to analyse how the key process indicators are affected by the main management options of the Usability Evaluation Process.

“…Perhaps the most widely used set that is not specific to a single implementation (such as a Macintosh design guide) was developed by Molich and Nielsen (1990;later updated in Nielsen, 1994). Expressed as ten overarching heuristics or "rules of thumb," this high-level guidance can be tailored for particular systems or used "as is" for a quick evaluation.…”

This paper describes two steps in the evolution of human-robot interaction designs developed by the University of Massachusetts Lowell (UML) and the Idaho National Laboratory (INL) to support urban search and rescue tasks. We conducted usability tests to compare the two interfaces, one of which emphasized three-dimensional mapping while the other design emphasized the video feed. We found that participants desired a combination of the interface design approaches. As a result, we changed the UML system to augment its heavy emphasis on video with a map view of the area immediately around the robot. We tested the changes in a follow-on user study and the results from that experiment suggest that performance, as measured by the number of collisions with objects in the environment and time on task, is better with the new interaction techniques. Throughout the paper, we describe how we applied human-computer interaction principles and techniques to benefit the evolution of the human-robot interaction designs. While the design work is situated in the urban search and rescue domain, we feel the results can be generalized to domains that involve other search or monitoring tasks using remotely located robots.2

“…De esta manera, el elemento para medir la eficacia será el objetivo; una aplicación es eficaz si el usuario puede llevar a cabo la tarea fijada según los criterios establecidos en el objetivo. Para medir la eficacia, se utilizaron tres métodos de análisis: la tasa de cumplimiento de tareas, el recorrido cognitivo [12] y la evaluación heurística [2,7,11].…”

En la Tabla 1 se presenta una breve explicación de cada una de las heurísticas utilizadas en este estudio y en la Figura 2, un ejemplo de una de las listas de chequeo utilizadas.…”

RESUMENEl artículo presenta unos criterios metodológicos para evaluar la usabilidad en los Sistemas de Administración de Sursos (CMS). Están basados en métodos tradicionales de evaluación de usabilidad. A partir de estos métodos se originaron nuevos que fueron mezclados con los tradicionales para evaluar no solo los elementos que componen la usabilidad sino la funcionalidad y el aspecto pedagógico de los CMS. Estos criterios se aplicaron en la evaluación de la usabilidad de la plataforma de aprendizaje Lingweb que se realizó mezclando métodos y aprovechando al máximo las sesiones con Tester Users (TU), lo que generaron insumos importantes para ser abordados en un análisis riguroso y detallado de las diferentes características encontradas en la plataforma Lingweb desde la perspectiva de la usabilidad, de la funcionalidad y de la pedagogía. Los resultados obtenidos en esta evaluación desde el análisis de la eficiencia de la plataforma son descritos en el artículo. INTRODUCCIÓNEl proceso de desarrollo de software implica una serie de pasos que son necesarios para el desarrollo de cualquier aplicación informática [1]. En años recientes, el usuario final ha sido considerado como parte importante del proceso debido a que es la persona que interactúa con los elementos funcionales de una aplicación [2]. La calidad del producto software se define como el grado en el
