Abstract

JavaScript is one of the most used programming languages in web development, which has led to the emergence of a variety of JavaScript frameworks and the consequent difficulty in selecting one of them. The present study focuses on usability as a factor of adoption of a JavaScript framework and aims to evaluate the usability of three well-known JavaScript frameworks: Backbone, Angular and Ember. The evaluation of usability was carried out using the usability test technique and focused on the following attributes: learnability, error rate and satisfaction. The results showed that Angular was the framework that the participants of the study perceived with greater usability followed by Ember and Backbone in last place.
