Análise da usabilidade do software Audaces Moldes: um estudo no curso técnico em vestuário do Instituto Federal de Educação Ciência e Tecnologia do Rio Grande do Norte, campus Caicó

Abstract

In the academic field of Fashion Design courses Technician Clothing and Textile Engineering, the CAD (Computer Aid Design) is used in the teaching of computer modeling clothing. Thus, the proposed study aims to evaluate the usability of Audaces software templates in students of the Federal Institute of Rio Grande do Norte (IFRN) Caicó. For the realization of the research, we used two valuation techniques: the Usability Testing where participants were observed interacting with the software while doing a task and the questionnaire of interaction that addressed factors for analysis as the software screen; the terminology and information; the learnability; the software capability and user satisfaction. The evaluation was applied with nineteen students of the Technical Course in Clothing, users of the software. The results showed some problems that prevented the correct completion of the proposed task. After identifying the problems identified by users were improvement suggestions to facilitate student interaction with the system. Finally, it is believed that in general, the Audaces Molds system meets the needs of its users regarding the usability of such software.
