Description
is an activity of the 
WUAnet (Web Usability and Accessibility Network) is an ISWE initiative started with the aim of providing usability and accessibility solutions to the industry coming from the Web Engineering field. The main research focus is to ensure usability and accessibility into Web development processes. This leads us to identify and understand the user needs and plan for how to integrate those needs into the Web development process. This will be achieved by assessing the effectiveness of existing approaches for Web usability and accessibility evaluation. These include, but are not limited to:
- Guidelines for usability and accessibility
- Usability models
- Usability/accessibility standards
- Usability/accessibility evaluation methods
- Usability checkers
- Accessibility verifiers
- Logging tools
- Automatic metric capture tools
- Tools for repairing usability/accessibility of legacy Web systems
- Etc.
An issue of particular importance is when and how the usability/accessibility problems should be fixed. This will contribute to the creation of a body of knowledge about usability and accessibility in Web Engineering. Our ultimate goal is to transfer this knowledge to the Web development industry.
Mission
The main objective of the WUAnet is to improve current practices and tools for the evaluation and early-repair of usability and accessibility of Web applications.
Goals
- Systematic review of usability/accessibility evaluation methods applied to the Web Engineering field
- Integration of usability and accessibility into Web development processes
- Comparison of tools for Web usability and accessibility
- Comparison of existing approaches for Web usability and accessibility evaluation
- Definition of novel approaches for Web usability and accessibility evaluation
- Empirical validation of usability/accessibility measures
