Avaliação de Usabilidade do Software Canal Social

Abstract

Software products, after being planned and developed, need to undergo a careful check, identifying if their functionalities are in accordance with their requirements. For that, it is necessary to carry out a study on the best existing techniques to perform these steps, in which the developers, in a meticulous way, verify the functioning of all parts of the software, varying from the source code to their interaction through its interface, which in the latter case is to realize the usability of the software itself, obtaining an accurate result of the current state of the functionalities and contents for its future users. Assuming this context, the present work will present methods and techniques for testing software and usability, which will be selected and applied to the Digital TV application, called Canal Social , developed by the Extension Research Center- Digital Video Laboratory of the Federal University of Paraba, in which researchers from the same laboratory, selected for this purpose, must perform tests in the application, to later perform its usability, for a small sample of participants from the outsourced company, JMT Service , as well as, as a matter of priority, for a sample of selected participants of the Single Registry Program, that is, of the speci c Bolsa Famlia Program.
