Abstract

This article reports a unified methodology developed to evaluate the accessibility and usability of mobile computing applications, which is intended to guarantee universal access as far as possible. As a basis for the methodology, this paper presents an analysis of the accessibility guidelines, conducted to take into account the specificity of mobile systems, as well as a set of usability heuristics, specifically devised for mobile computing. Finally, it presents the results of the application of the proposed methodology to applications that have been semi-automatically developed by the MAIS Designer, a new design tool that provides applications suited to different mobile devices.

Fußnoten
1
The severity problem classification developed by Nielsen in his Heuristic Evaluation method [50] is used. Problems are evaluated according to a severity rating scale of 0–4. 0 means no usability problem at all; 1 = cosmetic problem only: need not be fixed unless extra time is available on project; 2 = minor usability problem: fixing this should be given low priority; 3 = major usability problem: important to fix, so should be given high priority; 4 = usability catastrophe: imperative to fix this before product can be released.
 
2
It is worth noting that an individual problem is sometimes indicated by the participants to be associated to more than one heuristic and thus the total of the right column of Table 2 does not equal the actual number of problems.
