Description

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 integrate usability and accessibility into the whole Web development lifecycle. This leads us to identify and understand the user needs and plan for how to integrate those needs into specific Web development processes. An issue of particular importance is when and how the usability and accessibility problems should be fixed. To accomplish these goals, the effectiveness of existing approaches (e.g., review guidelines, evaluation methods, standards, tools) for Web usability and accessibility evaluation will be reviewed and compared. The identification of gaps in the current practices will drive the definition of novel approaches for ensuring usability and accessibility into Web processes. This will contributes 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, methods and tools for the evaluation and early-repair of usability and accessibility of Web applications.
