Abstract
User Interfaces has an important role on the success of an application. Due the relevant temporal and economic cost of its development is necessary to obtain a high acceptability and effective design. To consider a user interface acceptable this must be kind to user, do its objectives and be easy for the user. In this paper an abstract model specification is presented to allow evaluate the acceptability of user interfaces. This is made in a semiautomatic way validating the three items defined before. We also present a notation for the user interface testing and a tool that allows the user executes user tasks over the graphic user interface prototyping generates by the tool.
