A method for evaluating the usability of user interfaces is provided. The method may include capturing user interface data. The method may also include determining whether the plurality of user interface data follows user interface guidelines associated with the user interface. The method may further include determining scores for the user interface based on the determination of whether the user interface data follows the user interface guidelines. Additionally, the method may include implementing the user interface using the user interface data to log usage data associated with the user interface. The method may also include capturing user interaction data associated with the user interface based on the logging of the usage data. The method may further include detecting correlations between the user interface data and the user interaction data. The method may also include presenting the scores, correlations, and an analysis based on the scores and the correlations.

Usability analysis for user interface based systems

A system and method featuring a collection of model objects which hold data to be shared, and supporting interfaces to read and write the data, to create and destroy collaboration relationships and to attach 'view objects' containing application code which will be automatically notified of value changes. Each user environment is provided with a model object control entity, referred to herein as a Collaboration Manager, which creates model objects, executes transactions, and creates association objects related to the collaboration. A concurrency control mechanism records the reads and updates of the data and of collaboration relationships within a single transaction site and guarantees that they are applied atomically and consistently to both the local and to all remote replica objects of the collaboration.
