Abstract
In order to create high quality and easy-to-use mobile software, the process of mobile device applications (MDAs) development must be accommodated to usability challenges. As present-day MDAs mostly target smartphones, with touchscreen ones increasingly gaining popularity, the primary focus in improving this process should include support for usability awareness at the earliest possible development phase for this class of mobile devices. In this paper we propose a model interaction benchmark test providing both quantitative and qualitative usability feedback at the elementary touchscreen action level.
