TLDR
A metric-based tool called AIDE (semi-Automated Interface Designer and Evaluator) which assists designers in creating and evaluating layouts for a given set of interface controls is presented.Abstract:
Automating any part of the user interface design and evaluation process can help reduce development costs. This paper presents a metric-based tool called AIDE (semi-Automated Interface Designer and Evaluator) which assists designers in creating and evaluating layouts for a given set of interface controls. AIDE is an initial attempt to demonstrate the potential of incorporating metrics into user interface development tools, Analyzing the interfaces produced using AIDE provides encouraging feedback about the potential of this technique.read more

Automatic support for usability evaluation
A. Lecerof,Fabio Paternò +1 more
TL;DR: A method to evaluate user interfaces using task models and logs generated from a user test of an application is proposed and can be incorporated into an automatic tool which gives the designer information useful to evaluate and improve the user interface.

Finding usability problems through heuristic evaluation
TL;DR: Usability specialists were better than non-specialists at performing heuristic evaluation, and “double experts” with specific expertise in the kind of interface being evaluated performed even better.
