Practice of Usability Engineering in SDLC
نویسنده
چکیده
Usability has become an increasingly important issue in the software industry. Software usability engineering is a structured approach to building software systems that meet the needs of users in various environments with varying levels of computer experience. In this paper, we understand the need of usability practices and integrate it into software development lifecycle. This paper reports the results from a recent study done to observe the practices of usability engineering during software development lifecycle in Pakistan software industry. A questionnaire survey was designed to gather information on the usability tasks and to what extent they are integrated in software development lifecycle. The results shows that majority of the organizations understand the importance of usability tasks but unable to fully integrate it in software development lifecycle. Furthermore, return on investment for usability activities are not being calculated in any organization.
