Several user-oriented techniques have been proposed for Graphical User Interface evaluation. In this paper, we focus on User-Oriented Test concepts, advantages and related problems. Among the User-Oriented Test techniques, the electronic informer is a powerful technique for interactive system testing. Thus, this research paper contributes in the improvement of existing tools for interactive system evaluation. This environment is achieved using (1) an electronic informer dedicated to the interactive system evaluation and (2) evaluation based graphical controls. The proposed evaluation environment is structured following client-server architecture. It aims to automate the interactive system evaluation process. Besides it takes the evaluation process into account since early interactive system design phases. This environment is validated by an experimental test
