“…Utilizando TD-MBUID no desenvolvimento de produtos, ambos, o desenvolvedor e o usuário conseguem produzir sistemas que tenham as características de ambos, "pode-se dizer que um produto feito o TD-MBUID é como um filho que se aparece tanto com sua mãe (desenvolvedor: dá ou fornece informações e cria), quanto seu pai (usuário: da ou fornece informações)." Neste sentido, o produto não pode ser negado nem por um, nem por outro [22]. Na fase de modelagem abstrata da interface o desenvolvedor pode gerar protótipos de interface seguindo dois tipos de rotas: a rota baseada em dados (a partir da interface de negócio do usuário) ou a rota baseada em tarefas (a partir do modelo de interação), conforme figura 2.…”

Resumo: Modelos de avaliação são utilizados em diversas áreas empresariais, porém muitos caem em desuso, ou são substituídos pela sua complexidade ou pela dificuldade de utilização. O sistema computacional Maturidade e Educação para a Sustentabilidade Organizacional -MESO tem a intenção de ser simples e de fácil utilização, além de ser on-line. Neste contexto, observa-se a necessidade de buscar uma metodologia que contenha princípios da usabilidade para a criação de um sistema computacional. O objetivo é identificar se as técnicas de usabilidade podem auxiliar no desenvolvimento do sistema computacional MESO tornando-o mais utilizável aos usuários. Para isto, foram realizadas uma pesquisa bibliográfica e a aplicação da metodologia TD-MBUID que contempla técnicas de usabilidade para a modelagem e testes em sistemas. Os resultados encontrados evidenciam a importância de aliar técnicas de usabilidade no desenvolvimento de softwares e que os testes realizados com o aplicativo Tobii Studio comprovaram que a utilização dos modelos mentais dos usuários para a elaboração de interfaces melhora a usabilidade e a interação dos usuários com as mesmas. Palavras-chave: Ferramentas computacionais, TD-MBUID, Usabilidade.Abstract: Evaluation models are used in various business areas, but many fall into disuse, or are replaced by their complexity or the difficulty of use. The computational of Maturity and Education for Sustainability -MESO is intended to be simple and easy to use, in addition to being online. In this context, the need to find a methodology that contains principles of usability to the creation of a computer system. The aim is to identify if the usability techniques can assist in the development of computational MESO system making it more usable to users. For this, a bibliographical research and application of TD-MBUID methodology which includes usability techniques for modeling and systems testing. The results demonstrate the importance of combining usability techniques in software development and that the tests conducted with the Tobii Studio application proved that the use of the users' mental models for the development of interfaces and usability improves the interaction of users with the same.

Software applications that are very large-scale, can encompass hundreds of complex user interfaces (UIs). Such applications are commonly sold as feature-bloated off-the-shelf products to be used by people with variable needs in the required features and layout preferences. Although many UI adaptation approaches were proposed, several gaps and limitations including: extensibility and integration in legacy systems, still need to be addressed in the state-of-the-art adaptive UI development systems. This paper presents Role-Based UI Simplification (RBUIS) as a mechanism for increasing usability through adaptive behavior by providing end-users with a minimal feature-set and an optimal layout, based on the context-ofuse. RBUIS uses an interpreted runtime model-driven approach based on the Cedar Architecture, and is supported by the integrated development environment (IDE), Cedar Studio. RBUIS was evaluated by integrating it into OFBiz, an open-source ERP system. The integration method was assessed and measured by establishing and applying technical metrics. Afterwards, a usability study was carried out to evaluate whether UIs simplified with RBUIS show an improvement over their initial counterparts. This study leveraged questionnaires, checking task completion times and output quality, and eye-tracking. The results showed that UIs simplified with RBUIS significantly improve end-user efficiency, effectiveness, and perceived usability.

“…In order to visualise and modify prototypes, Molina et al (2012) propose the tool CIAT-GUI that allows to test information system models in different abstraction layers, generating intermediate models to detail business logic layers. However, the authors did not consider the use of a simpler abstraction level for GUIs (i.e., annotated Mockups) in the beginning of the RAP approach as our work did.…”

Rapid application prototyping (RAP) is recommended to obtain quick feedback from clients, allowing the validation of software requirements before acceptance tests. In this regard, model-driven engineering (MDE) and agile methods are two important approaches that suggest the use of techniques for RAP. Some fundamental differences between them exist: MDE focuses on software reuse through annotated system models while agile methods recommend the use simpler models to achieve quick feedback from clients. In order to comply with agility principles but still concerned about the future reuse of the developed software, the quick design of annotated models must be considered. This paper presents a MDE-based RAP methodology and tool support to quickly generate web front ends and models based on the MVC architectural pattern. In addition, we report a case study that has joined MDE and Scrum by applying our methodology and tool support for complete development of web information system in a Scrum-based industrial software project. We also present lessons learnt from the case study and point out some issues for future research in software engineering to facilitate the introduction of MDE in target contexts.
