Automating Guidelines Inspection

From Web Site Specification to Deployment

  • Conference paper
Computer-Aided Design of User Interfaces V

Abstract

This work focuses on how we can improve automatic evaluation based on guidelines inspection throughout the life cycle of Web applications by mapping guideline concepts to different artifacts produced during the development process. In order to support such an evaluation approach, we present a tool for automated evaluation based on guidelines reviews
