Fenómenos contemporáneos tales como la masificación de la Universidad han incrementado su atención en problemas de corte económico y social. La educación en carreras de computación e informática no escapa a esta realidad y propuestas modernas de currículo basados en competencias son ahora, más que nunca, tan necesarios como la actualización en sí d...
El objetivo de este trabajo fue contestar la pregunta de investigación: ¿Cómo se integran las pruebas de usabilidad remota con Programación eXtrema? La metodología utilizada fue la revisión de literatura, a través del proceso de búsqueda, selección y estructuración. Se utilizó palabras clave, categorías emergentes y cadenas de búsquedas a través de...
Los planes de estudio de ciencias de la computación y carreras afines evidencian una brecha importante en torno a la temática de estimación de costos de proyectos de software. En general, en los modelos curriculares relacionados con el desarrollo de software, se recomienda la temática de la estimación en el desarrollo del software sin especificar n...
This paper aims to present a literature review made in order to verify the current use of the “licentiate” academic degree. In the scope of this study, there is a debate about the pertinence of continuing to offer such academic degree on topics related to computing. This debate has special relevance in the context of the process of proposing new gr...
Population aging is now a global reality a global reality, and interaction with social media as well. The older adult population is increasing significantly and their mental and physical health will be a worldwide priority. Social networks have been seen as an important ally to support older people. It is therefore important to know how the elderly...
Nowadays, academy faces different challenges related to development of students´ skills. Implementation of learning
philosophies as PBL (Problem Based Learning) is an effort that usually initiates at university high-level support (Top-down),
or from operational levels (bottom-up). This article describes the bottom-up implementation of the PBL philo...
Assessment of educational innovation efforts must be integral. Among other, it is necessary to consider students' perspective on the impact of educational innovation in their formation. This becomes even more critical if educational innovation efforts include the use of a model like the Problem Based Learning. This paper presents the results of a s...
Although Human-Computer Interaction techniques, as usability evaluations, are considered strategic in software development, there are diverse economic and practical constraints in their application. The integration of these tests into software projects must consider practical and cost-effective methods such as, the remote synchronous testing method...
Although HCI techniques as usability evaluations are considered strategic in software development, there are important obstacles in the application thereof. One of the most relevant is the software developers' lack of understanding regarding usability. This problem is connected to the lack of empathy toward users' needs on the part of software deve...
The tendency to empower users in the software development process encourages the continuing search for ways to reconcile the interests of agile methodologies and Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) activities. The practice of agile methods, e.g. Scrum, is normally focused on high productivity, sometimes leaving aside other important aspects of softwar...
There are several obstacles when it comes to integrating Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) activities into software development projects. In particular, a lack of understanding on the part of novice software developers regarding usability is one of the most cited problems related to this integration. Observation of usability evaluation by these deve...
Although Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) techniques, as usability evaluations, are considered strategic in software development, there are diverse economic and practical constraints in their application. The integration of these tests into software projects must consider practical and cost-effective methods such as, for instance, the remote synchr...
Several digitally emerging countries in Latin America are experiencing increases in user experience activities. This becomes evident when examining usability evaluations, which are relevant and strategic activities for software development organizations, as well as for software developers.
Usability evaluations are important for software developme...
In this paper we present the results of a study which aims to explore the perspective of novice software developers about usability evaluation. It is important for a software organization to understand how novice developers perceive the role and importance of usability evaluation. This will permit development of effective methods and training progr...
Several emerging countries experience increasing software development activities. With the purpose of provide useful feedback on possible courses of action for increasing application of usability evaluation in such countries, this paper explores the status of usability evaluation in a digitally emerging country. Our aim is to identifying common cha...
Remote Usability Testing (RUT) is an alternative method of usability evaluations. The main aim of RUT is the reduction of costs in the usability evaluation process. Since middle of the 90s RUT, has emerged as a technique which seems as is gaining maturity across the time. In general any discipline or professional field matures along the time using...
Teaching and learning software engineering have been recognized as important challenges for computer science students and instructors. These challenges become stronger if we consider the distributed software development scenario that is gaining space everyday into the software industry. In order to help address this challenge, this article introduc...
