移动的应用程序的可用性对于它们的采用至关重要,因为相对较小的屏幕和笨拙的(有时是虚拟的)键盘,尽管智能手机最近取得了进展。传统的基于实验室的可用性测试通常是乏味的,昂贵的,并且不能反映真实的用例。在本文中,我们提出了一个工具包,嵌入到移动的应用程序的能力,自动收集用户界面(UI)的事件,用户与应用程序进行交互。这些事件是细粒度的,对于量化的可用性分析很有用。我们已经实现了Android设备上的工具包,我们评估了一个真实的部署的Android应用程序的工具包,通过比较事件分析(基于状态机)与传统的实验室测试(基于专家)。结果表明,我们的工具包是有效的捕捉详细的UI事件,准确的可用性分析。
The usability of mobile applications is critical for their adoption because of the relatively small screen and awkward (sometimes virtual) keyboard, despite the recent advances of smartphones. Traditional laboratory-based usability testing is often tedious, expensive, and does not reflect real use cases. In this paper, we propose a toolkit that embeds into mobile applications the ability to automatically collect user interface (UI) events as the user interacts with the applications. The events are fine-grained and useful for quantified usability analysis. We have implemented the toolkit on Android devices and we evaluated the toolkit with a real deployed Android application by comparing event analysis (state-machine based) with traditional laboratory testing (expert based). The results show that our toolkit is effective at capturing detailed UI events for accurate usability analysis.
