The Place of User Enhanceability in User-Oriented Software Development
Nikolay Mehandjiev, Leonardo Bottaci · Journal of Organizational and End User Computing · 1998
This paper is concerned with a particular form of end user development known as user enhanceability, in which software applications are produced initially by software professionals, and are later modified and enhanced by end users. This paper concentrates on a software development process and associated modelling languages, appropriate for user enhanceable systems. It argues that it is both feasible and advantageous for user enhanceability languages to be similar to graphical analysis languages, although they cannot be identical. The paper also discusses the role of designers in the context of user enhanceability, and the limitations of the user enhanceability approach.Request access from your librarian to read this article's full text.
