Um mapeamento sistemático da literatura de testes de usabilidade em aplicações móveis

Abstract

Given the technological advances, mobile devices earned and built their own space in many users lives, making their use popular, consequently and resulting in the production of a variety of more refined and diverse applications. However, the development for this type of application becomes a complex task, due to the limitations of the devices when compared to desktop computers. For that reason, software testing becomes essential to ensure quality of the developed applications , particularly usability test, once the user can use mobile applications in different contexts. Nevertheless, in literature, little study has been presented about usability test for the mobile applications domain, in such a way it can guide usability tests for these kinds of applications, identifying what types, main techniques, the best heuristics, tools, among other characteristics. This paper aims to identify, through a systematic mapping characteristics of such tests for the execution of usability evaluations with users.
