Task Analysis-Based User Event Logging for Mobile Applications

Abstract

Task analysis defines the user-centered tasks that users will carry out to use a system, and it serves as the basis for the definition of usability requirements related to efficiency and effectiveness. Usability and UX (User eXperience) are especially important for mobile application development. We aim to provide support to task modelling for Android application development, and to specify user events to be logged for further analysis. Selection of the task modelling technique has been carried out in a two steps approach, allowing, for the next step of developing, a tool to support task modelling and annotation.
