The GenderMag Recorder's Assistant
2018 - 2020
- The GenderMag Recorder’s Assistant is a tool to identify gender - inclusiveness issues in software.
- GenderMag is a process you can use to find gender biases in user-facing software that you are designing/building. The GenderMag Recorder’s Assistant semi-automates using this process.
- It is easy to use and can be used by software engineers to management to usability experts.

Building software systems is hard work, with challenges ranging from technical issues to usability issues. If the technical issues are not addressed, the software cannot work but if the usability issues are not addressed, many potential users and customers are not even interested in whether it works. Further, usability must be inclusive: software needs to support diverse sorts of users. To help software professionals address gender-inclusive usability, we have created the GenderMag Recorder's Assistant tool. This Open Source tool is the first to semi-automate evaluating gender biases in software that is being designed, developed, or maintained. In this showpiece, we will demo the tool and encourage attendees to get involved in using it and improving upon it.
