SMILE - uma ferramenta para geração automática, edição e simulação de protótipos de interface do usuário.

Abstract

This work proposes the use of medium-fidelity prototypes in the Camaleon framework, which considered in the IHC area (Human-Computer Interface), as reference framework for construction of user interface. In the flow of user interface development context, the suitable use of medium-fidelity prototypes enables practices such as participatory design, which improve the process and the required software product, as a whole. The proposed adaptation for the Camelon was applied in MEDITE, a methodology of user interface conception, in order to evaluate results from the use of this prototype in Camaleon compatible methodologies. To support the process of the medium-fidelity prototypes generation added to MEDITE, the SMILE tool (Sketch Manipulation Integrated with Less Effort) was designed, developed and validated in of the scope of this work.
