Software Design Guidelines for Usability
Laura Elena Carvajal García, Ana María Moreno Sánchez-Capuchino · 2011
For years, the Human Computer Interaction (HCI) community has defined the expected characteristics of usable software systems. However, from a Software Engineering (SE) perspective, the process of incorporating usability into software is not always straightforward, as many usability features have strong implications in the underlying architecture. For example, successfully including a cancel feature in an application may involve complex interrelated data structures and functionalities. Our work is focused upon providing developers with a set of guidelines to assist them in including such usability features with high impact on software design into their developments effectively.
