The validation of the Heureka tool was realized in the academic year 2020/2021, a total of 66 students were enrolled on "User Interfaces", a 4th year, first-term course on the BSc in Computer Engineering at the University of Murcia. Students have to complete a total of 6 ECTS credits, which are distributed into 2 h/week of lectures and 1 h 40 min/week of skills practice during a period of 15 weeks. The objective of this subject is to introduce students to HCI issues, including the development and auditing of usable and accessible user interfaces, paying special attention to the application of standards and style guides in web, mobile and desktop computer applications. The two key terms on this course are usability and accessibility. This document describes the files that were used during the validation process. The data is presented in two Excel files and a pdf file: Heureka (Responses of students).xlsx: Contains the answers of student afters that it responds to perception about Heureka.
