Although usability evaluations have been focused on assessing different contexts of
use, no proper specifications have been addressed towards the particular environment of academic websites in the Spanish-speaking context of use. Considering that this context
involves hundreds of millions of potential users, the AIPO Association is running the
UsabAIPO Project. The ultimate goal is to promote an adequate translation of international standards, methods and ideal values related to usability in order to adapt them to diverse Spanish-related contexts of use. This article presents the main statistical results coming from
the Second and Third Stages of the UsabAIPO Project, where the UsabAIPO Heuristic method
(based on Heuristic Evaluation techniques) and seven Cognitive Walkthroughs were performed over 69 university websites. The planning and execution of the UsabAIPO Heuristic method and the Cognitive Walkthroughs, the definition of two usability metrics, as well as the outline
of the UsabAIPO Heuristic Management System prototype are also sketched.

Enhancing usability testing through datamining techniques: A novel approach to detecting usability problem patterns for a context of use
González Azconegui, María Paula; Lorés Vidal, Jesús; Granollers i Saltiveri, Toni (Elsevier, 2008)Usability is a software attribute usually associated with the ‘‘ease of use and to learn’’ of a given interactive system. Nowadays usability evaluation is becoming an important part of software development, providing ... -
A Hybrid Approach for Modelling Early Prototype Evaluation Under User-Centred Design Through Association Rules
González Azconegui, María Paula; Granollers i Saltiveri, Toni; Lorés Vidal, Jesús (Springer Verlag, 2007)One of the main activities in User Centred Design (UCD) is prototype evaluation, which is traditionally performed by means of an Evaluation Stage that looks for the redefinition of the prototype requirements, involving ... -
Quantitative analysis in a heuristic evaluation experiment
Masip Ardévol, Llúcia; Granollers i Saltiveri, Toni; Oliva Solé, Marta; González Mata, Marta (Elsevier, 2009)In usability context of interactive systems the heuristic evaluation method is widespread. In most applications the results tend to be qualitative, describing such aspects that require some improvement for the benefit ...
