چکیده
In most of the cases usability evaluations are done by usability experts. Employing such experts requires a certain size in business. Nevertheless users do not tolerate hard to use tools. So in a lot of small and middle sized companies developers are forced to learn handling usability aspects. This is not much easier than teaching usability engineers how to develop software. The usability evaluation process and its requirements also miss usable attributes. As a solution a light weighted usability evaluation model for software developers is created.

متن کاملMacros vs. scripting in VPOET
We present our experience on the provision and use of macros for the management of semantic data in semantically-enabled web applications. Macros can be considered as a lightweight version of scripting languages, mostly oriented to end users instead of to developers. We have enabled the use of macros in a wiki-based application named VPOET, oriented to web designers, and have confirmed through ...
متن کاملExperiences from Lightweight RE Method Evaluations
A comprehensive requirements engineering (RE) method was evaluated to assess its value for practitioners. A literature search brought up two evaluation frameworks that were used as the basis for both theoretical and empirical evaluations; one of the frameworks was used as such while a lightweight adaptation was developed from the other one. The different assessments proved to complement each ot...
متن کاملBringing Usability Evaluation into Practice: Field Studies in Two Software Organization
This paper explores how obstacles to usability evaluations in a software organization can be affected. We present two field studies, each conducted in a software organization that had no previous experience with usability evaluation. In each study, we first interviewed key stakeholders to identify their opinion about significant obstacles to conducting usability evaluations. Then we demonstrate...
