Projeto e implementação do módulo TAME da ferramenta iTAOS para análise e modelagem de tarefa.

Abstract

The demand for interactive software with a high degree of usability has been increasing. The importance of such kind of software is highly noted, it is important for the user and for the company that produces it. To obtain an adequate degree of usability, its is necessary to make a design centered on the user, considering its interface of interaction since the firsts phases of its development process. The traditional software development methodologies consider the user interface as an appendix of the system, due to this, the field of human computer interface has done researches to develop its own methodologies. Towards this approach, nowadays some methodologies based in the task analysis and modeling to incorporate the user knowledge about its task within the design of the interface worth distinction. Nevertheless this technique has a lack of computational support. This work has the goal of design and construct a functional component to be used in the construction of a computational tool, iTAOS tool, to give support to task analysis and modeling. This functional component is the TAME module, that implements the functional requirements raised to iTAOS tool.
