Avalista: concepção e desenvolvimento do frontend de uma ferramenta para avaliação de interfaces por inspeção

Abstract

Interface evaluation is a fundamental practice for ensuring the quality and usability of interactive systems. In the context of the Technology in Systems Analysis and Development course at IFRN, this practice is central and supported by a research project initiated in 2019, which resulted in the creation of the Eureca List 2024, a consolidated inspection-based evaluation instrument. This work presents itself as the next evolutionary step of this research, addressing the challenge of optimizing the manual application of the list. The objective was to conceive and develop the first version of the frontend prototype, a web tool to automate, standardize, and optimize the evaluation process. The methodology was based on the Problem Laboratory for the investigation of needs and culminated in the development of the frontend with React, guided by User Stories. The main result is a prototype that implements the essential workflow of an individual evaluation, from project management to the registration of issues, and which was developed to integrate with a backend API, developed in parallel by another student of the course. It is concluded that the prototype validates the proposal's feasibility, establishing a foundation for future work, such as the implementation of collaborative modules and engagement strategies.
