Abstract

The refactoring technique helps developers to improve not only source code quality, but also other aspects like usability. The problems refactoring helps to solve in the specific field of web usability are considered to be issues that make common tasks complicated for end users. Finding such problems, known in the jargon as bad smells, is often challenging for developers, especially for those who do not have experience in usability. In an attempt to leverage this task, we introduce a tool that automatically finds bad usability smells in web applications. Since bad smells are catalogued in the literature together with their suggested refactorings, it is easier for developers to find appropriate solutions.
