Abstract

In 2006 the Semiotic Inspection Method (SIM) was proposed and the authors raised the hypothesis that it was a technology and domain independent evaluation method. The aim of this study was to investigate whether published studies describing the use of SIM support this claim. In order to identify the papers to be analyzed a systematic literature review was conducted. Analysis of the papers indicated that SIM has been applied without adaptations to different domains and in each of them it has been able to identify issues specific to the domain. Hence, our findings support the claim that the method is independent of both domain and technology.
