Proposal of an automatic tool for guidelines validation to aid for interactive systems ergonomic quality assessment

Abstract

This paper is related to the Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) field and more specifically to the interactive systems ergonomic quality evaluation. This article involves the realization and the test of a tool for guidelines validation in interactive systems in order to aid in the ergonomic quality assessment process. It consists on the selection of ergonomic guidelines among a bunch of ergonomic rules. Then the presented Guidelines Inspector is assigned to inspect the degree of compliance of these rules in the evaluated Interactive Systems. This analysis helps to identify the different conception errors in order to obtain coherent Graphic User Interface (GUI). The developed Guidelines Inspector is validated by the evaluation of traffic supervision system in Valenciennes (France).
