Zusammenfassung
In this paper we present a new approach to the automation of
usability evaluation for interactive systems. Design ideas or
complete systems are modeled as a conditional state machine.
Then, user interactions with the system are simulated on the
basis of tasks, by first searching for possible solution paths
and then generating deviations from these paths under
consideration of user groups and system attributes. The
approach has been implemented into a workbench which
supports the modeling of the system and the evaluation of the
simulations. We present first results for the reliability of the
approach in modeling interactions with a spoken dialog
system.
