Abstract

Usability evaluation at design-time can save a lot of money in software projects by allowing a fast time-to-market. It also avoids fixing usability problems only after laboratory tests, which requires changing code. Design-time evaluation could use both software models and prototypes. In this paper, we describe a model-based usability inspection technique to evaluate interaction models. Our technique use ALa-DIM modeling language that focus on the abstract structure of user-system interaction and also in the main contents that the designer wants to communicate to the user. It helps the usability experts to evaluate the designer's communicative intentions in the user interface.
