Desenvolvimento de rubricas para validação de design responsivo

Abstract

Data from the Global System Mobile for Communications show that the number of smartphone users has exceeded the 5.1 billion mark. With the number of different devices growing and more users using the devices for different tasks, some content is not presented properly on all devices, for this reason Marcotte (2010) proposed a design that would facilitate the development of a system to support different devices, called responsive design. With this model, the written code adapts the layout to different devices without having to write different codes. One of the techniques used is the mobile first method, where it is developed primarily for smaller screens, going to larger screens. This work aimed to analyze the responsive design methods and use them in the creation of systems with the aid of software engineering techniques. To evaluate these designs, after their creation, the way of validating the quality of the responsive design created was based on rubrics, created with criteria defined from the needs of these systems, such as media queries, breakpoints, mobile first, among others. Thus, the use of these items can be adapted for different systems, making small specific changes according to the domain chosen for the system.
