Abstract

User interface prototypes aid several activities during the development process lifecycle. However, there are still many manual activities performed during this process. This research project investigates how semantic meaning identification in UI prototypes can help carry out manually performed tasks. We started by analyzing a set of UI prototypes obtained from prototyping activities with students. As a result, we created a database of 856 UI prototypes labeled semantically in 19 classes and two semantic levels: layout and functionalities. Each class of UI prototypes was analyzed to identify its distinguishing characteristics, from which we obtained a set of 19 heuristics specifications. This set of heuristics allows the development of solutions for automatic analysis of UI prototypes, thus supporting software prototyping activities.
