Uma Proposta de Processo de Avaliação de Usabilidade para DSLs

Several studies indicate the lack of well-defined methods to evaluate usability criteria in Domain-Specific Languages (DSL). Therefore, software en-gineers evaluate experimentally, even subjectively, whether a DSL is easy to use and easy to understand. In this context, this paper presents the proposal of an evaluation process based on the Usa-DSL framework, which was developed to evaluate the usability of DSLs. The purpose of the Usa-DSL process is to help DSL designers and developers to develop, execute, analyze and disseminate the results of assessing those languages, making this task easier and more intuitive
