REVIEWING THE SACARWEB DESIGN BASED IN DISCOUNT USABILITY ENGINEERING

Resumen

This work analysed the SacarWeb's project and its objectives facing a usability analysis. The objective is to verify if the software attends its objetives of learnability, errors rate, if it is usable and to integrate usability techniques in the development cycle of the SacarWeb team. For this it was tested the Discount Usability Engineering approach, that proved to be adequate to teams with low usability knowledge, since it was found many valid usability problems and coincident among different evaluation types and evaluators. Our results have shown that is possible to a team make usability inspections based in the literature, that is possible to use the usability problems as a source of tasks to development team and that is not a difficult approach to learn, so it is possible to integrate in teams without usability specialists. Additionally we conclude that usability can't be neglected in the software development cycle, since many adoption problems can occur because of this kind of problem.
