Evaluation ergonomique des interfaces utilisateur : un pas vers l'automatisation. (Ergonomic evaluation of user interfaces : a step to automation)

L'ingenierie des Interfaces Homme-Machine s'est manifestee jusqu'ici par le developpement de modeles et d'outils d'aide a la construction d'interfaces utilisateur. Dans le processus iteratif de developpement des interfaces, l'evaluation est souvent negligee par les developpeurs ou reste le produit d'une demarche artisanale. Notre but est de fournir une aide automatique en vue d'une evaluation plus performante. Apres une revue de l'etat de l'art, nous proposons deux espaces taxonomiques qui permettent de situer les techniques d'evaluation actuelles et les modeles de taches possibles. Nous proposons ensuite EMA, un mecanisme d'analyse automatique pour l'evaluation ergonomique des interfaces utilisateur. L'analyse utilise trois sources d'information : une base de profils de comportement modelises sous forme de regles, une representation formelle de l'espace des taches realisables avec le logiciel teste, ainsi que les donnees comportementales enregistrees au cours des sessions d'utilisation du logiciel teste. EMA est aujourd'hui un detecteur d'anomalies. Il conviendra dans nos perspectives d'extension, d'en faire un critique explicatif, voire correctif.
