Uma Proposta de Processo de Avaliação de Usabilidade para DSLs
Resumo
Diversos estudos indicam a inexistência de métodos bem definidos para avaliar critérios de usabilidade em linguagens específicas de domínio (Domain-Specific Languages -DSL). Desta forma, engenheiros de software avaliam de forma experimental, até mesmo subjetivamente, se uma DSL é fácil de ser utilizada e de fácil entendimento, por exemplo. Neste contexto, este trabalho apresenta a proposta de um processo de avaliação apoiado no framework Usa-DSL, o qual foi desenvolvido para avaliar a usabilidade de DSL. O Usa-DSL Process tem como principal objetivo auxiliar os projetistas e desenvolvedores de DSLs no desenvolvimento, execução, análise e divulgação dos resultados da avaliação de tais linguagens, tornando essa tarefa mais fácil e intuitiva.
