USABILITY of Collaborative Web Surfing Systems in e-Research
Softwares developed for the e-Research are generic in nature and are used in diverse application context. The Usability evaluation becomes more severe for that type of softwares. In this paper, we focus on e-Research application based software on small scale to evaluate the quality assessment in accordance to the usability of the software. The graphical user interfaces are the main artifacts of the Usability evaluation, we proposed a model transformation method for the generation of executable user interfaces for the usability quality assessment of the software used in Collaborative environment for web surfing.
Keywords: Usability, Collaborative Web Surfing, e-Research, Quality assurance, Model transformation, User Interfaces
