Abstract
The usability testing of mobile applications involving persons with Down syndrome is an issue that has not be comprehensively investigated and there is no single proposal that takes on board all the issues that could be taken into account[1]. This study aims to propose a practical guide ¿USATESTDOWN¿ to measure and evaluate the usability of mobile applications focusing on Down syndrome users and their primary limitations. The study starts with an analysis of existing methodologies and tools to evaluate usability and integrates concepts related to inspection and inquiry methods into a proposal. The proposal includes the opinions of experts and representative users; their limitations, the applicability during the development process and the accessibility. This guide is based on the literature review and the author?s experience in several workshops where persons with Down syndrome used mobile devices. RELACION CON LA TESIS DOCTORAL: .Esta publicación es el resultado de la Investigación realizada ya que une todos las experiencias, experiementos, lineamientos, guias, evaluaciones en un solo documento. El trabajo fue una colección de diferentes criterios de profesionales en varias areas tales como los tutores, especialistas,padres de familia de las personas con Down Syndrome y especialmente fue el resultado de interactuar con las personas con Down Syndrome que colaboraron con nuestra investigación.
