Abstract

Assesses the usability of the interface Lume - Repository of UFRGS. Aims to verify whether the main usability requirements are included and users interact easily while using the system. Sought to identify usability criteria not adopted in the interface and verify its influence on access to information. It has a qualitative approach and uses an exploratory methodology. We used the heuristic evaluation to detect problems of usability and an empirical method involving users. The results assisted in the identification requirements can not adopted and heuristics to identify violated. It was possible to verify that the interface Repository covers the main requirements of usability, featuring a low error rate and few problems.
