| - | '''WUAnet''' ('''W'''eb '''U'''sability and '''A'''ccessibility '''Net'''work) is an [http://www.iswe-ev.de/ ISWE] initiative started with the aim of providing [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_usability usability] and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_accessibility accessibility] solutions to the industry coming from the [http://www.webengineering.org/ Web Engineering] field. The main research focus is to ensure usability and accessibility into [[Web development process|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 [[current practices|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 barriers|usability/accessibility problems]] should be fixed. This will contribute to the creation of a body of knowledge about usability and accessibility in [http://www.webengineering.org/ Web Engineering]. Our ultimate goal is to transfer this knowledge to the [[Web development industry]].
