Usability Evaluation Framework for Mobile Apps using Code AnalysisAuthors: Neeraj Mathur,Sai Anirudh Karre,Y.Raghu Babu Reddy Conference: The Evaluation and Assessment in Software Engineering (EASE) conference Location Christchurch, New Zealand, Date: 2018-06-28 Report no: IIIT/TR/2018/140 AbstractThe increasing usage of smart-phones has resulted in mobile applications replacing or supplementing traditional web-based applications. Given the limitations of the form factor in smartphones, usability can be considered as one of the important attributes that determine the success of a mobile application. The measures available for assessing the usability of mobile applications tend to focus more on human aspects and less on the functional aspects of usability. As part of this paper, we propose a usability evaluation framework to identify functional usability issues specific to mobile applications. This framework uses usability guidelines and code analysis to improve the usability of a mobile application. As a proof of concept, we have built an end-to-end system using the framework to validate and verify usability issues in Android mobile applications. We also generate code recommendations to implement failed usability guidelines. Full paper: pdf Centre for Software Engineering Research Lab |
