Ferramenta para avaliação de interfaces em ambiente windows, a partir da monitoração de dados - FAI win.

Abstract

This works presents an interlace evaluation tool developed to be used with windows applications. The evaluation method is empirical and the technique employed by the tool is data monitoring. The data is collected in two phases. In the first phase, the interface is analysed from the viewpoint of the interface design definitions, such as: screen design, dialogue design, etc. The second phase monitors the user interaction, registering his performance in respect to: error rate, help request, task execution time, etc. The data collected during the interaction session is stored in a log file for later analysis. This evaluation tool offers facilities to present the data in an easy way for analysis. Finally it presents a case study with the analysis of die tools' results.
