note = "Informa{\c{c}}{\~o}es Adicionais: Everyday tens of new
applications are deployed on the Web. In general, most of these
applications have rich and complex interfaces, which are bound to
present usability problems. However, for modern Web applications,
usually developed in Internet time , regular approaches for the
evaluation of usability, based on laboratory tests, tend not to be
appropriate, as they demand an amount of effort and time that
developers are not willing to spend. In order to tackle this
problem, we developed USABILICS, a system targeted for the
automatic remote evaluation of usability based on an interface
model. The proposed model allows the definition of tasks using a
simple and intuitive approach, which can be applied to large and
dynamic Web applications. In this paper, we detail this approach,
presenting the tool that supports the definition of tasks.
Moreover, we show that our approach is effective towards
supporting the definition of complex tasks in a myriad of modern
Web applications..",
