Comparing accessibility evaluation and usability evaluation in HagáQuê

Abstract

Usability and accessibility are two attributes very important in software design nowadays and, in general, are evaluated separately. On one hand, usability evaluation methods alone can't answer whether software is accessible to all kind of users. On the other hand, an accessibility evaluation can say little about software usability. However, it seems that usability and accessibility evaluation methods have some points in common. The aim of this article is to compare and discuss the similarities and differences between the results of accessibility and usability evaluations in HagaQue, a comic book editor software for pedagogical usage.
