Abstract
In this paper we present a method and a supporting environment that allows remote evaluation of mobile applications. Various modules have been developed in order to gather contextual data about the usage of such applications in different environments. In addition, issues related to how to visualise usability data have been addressed in order to support the designers’ work in analysing such data.
