Abstract: Individuals often develop software based on their own cognitive preferences and perspectives. However, given the diverse ways in which people process information, it becomes crucial to examine how we can effectively test and implement software with inclusivity in mind.
This presentation will delve into the relationship between inclusivity and technology, addressing two main questions: What are inclusivity bugs? And how can we find and fix them in software products?
In this presentation, Dr. Guizani will introduce a Why/Where/Fix systematic inclusivity debugging process to help find inclusivity bugs (using the GenderMag cognitive walkthrough method), localize the Information Architecture (IA) faults behind them, and then fix the IA to remove the inclusivity bugs found. Additionally, she will share insights from various teams using GenderMag to enhance inclusivity in their products and processes.
