Sometimes the app&#8217;s functionalities work correctly, but its GUI does not allow correct use. Our research subject is usability in implementing GUI Design Patterns. This paper describes the design and implement of TriSigEM (Peirce&#8217;s Triad of Signs Evaluation Model), a quantitative and hierarchical model that guides evaluators in observing the GUI&#8217;s signs: Index, Icon, and Symbol. TriSigEM can help us improve GUI&#8217;s implementation and, eventually, the app&#8217;s functionalities. Also, this paper presents a comparative analysis of TriSigEM with related works reported in the literature. This analysis shows that TriSigEM surpasses other models and highlights that the analyzed GUI patterns need specifications on the Triad of Signs.]]></p></abstract>
<abstract abstract-type="short" xml:lang="es"><p><![CDATA[Resumen El porcentaje de aceptación y adopción de algunas apps, por parte de los usuarios, necesita ser mejorado. En ocasiones, las funcionalidades de la app funcionan correctamente, pero la interfaz gráfica de usuario (GUI) no permite un uso apropiado. Nuestro tema de investigación se centra en la usabilidad e implementación de Patrones de Diseño de GUI. Este artículo describe el diseño e implementación de TriSigEM (Peirce&#8217;s Triad of Signs Evaluation Model), Modelo de evaluación a través de la Triada Sígnica de Peirce, y basado en criterios de usabilidad. Se trata de un modelo cuantitativo y jerárquico que guía a los evaluadores en la observación de los signos de la GUI: Índice, Icono y Símbolo. TriSigEM puede ayudarnos a mejorar la implementación de la GUI y, eventualmente, las funcionalidades de la app. Además, este artículo presenta un análisis comparativo de TriSigEM con trabajos relacionados reportados en la literatura. Este análisis muestra que TriSigEM supera a otros modelos y destaca que los patrones de GUI analizados requieren mejoras respecto a la Triada sígnica.]]></p></abstract>
