RESUMO:

Mobile apps have grown considerably, supporting many everyday activities such as news reading, social media, and online banking. Mobile apps should be usable and accessible to everyone, including visually impaired people. Accessibility evaluation techniques are essential to identify accessibility problems and help to avoid problems that hinder access by people with disabilities. Different accessibility evaluation methods may be used in different stages of software development. These methods include approaches such as employing automated tools to detect specific issues in the source code and more comprehensive methods, such as user evaluation and expert inspections. Expert inspections and automated tools can help detect problems earlier in the development process, though they cannot cover all the problems visually impaired users encounter. However, knowing the types of accessibility problems encountered by each method is vital for developers, testers, and designers to allocate the different methods appropriately in different stages of the development cycle. This project proposes to compare the outcomes of automated evaluations, manual inspection and user evaluation methods applied on a selection of mobile apps, focusing on visually impaired users. The study employs the analysis of user evaluations performed in a previous study with four mobile apps. It follows the inspection of the same apps by specialists with different profiles, including front-end, UX analysts, tester, and full-stack developers. Different automated evaluation tools were also employed in the evaluations. The expected results include a comparison of the problems encountered in each method and the characterization of the types of problems, their nature, and their severity.
