Quantitative Architecture Usability Assessment with Scenarios
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, we propose a quantitative scenario-based method for dealing with the quality attributes for future software systems before any architecture implementation effort is actually done. The exploration of the possible design variants for a future system is done using so-called user scenarios. The method supports the software architects in developing future systems that meet their specific quality requirements. The method was validated in an industrial case study focusing on the usability aspects.

Supporting usability in product line architectures
This paper addresses the problem of supporting usability in the early stages of a product line architecture design. The product line used as an example is intended to support a variety of different products each with a radically different user interface. The development cycles for new products varies between three years and five years and usability is valued as an important quality attribute fo...
متن کاملLinking usability to software architecture patterns through general scenarios
Usability is an important quality attribute to be considered during software architecture design. Up to this point, usability has been served only by separating a system s user interface from its functionality to support iterative design. However, this has the effect of pushing revisions to achieve usability toward the end of the software development life cycle. Many usability benefits link dir...
متن کاملScenario-based Assessment of Software Architecture Usability
Over the years the software engineering community has increasingly realized the important role software architecture plays in fulfilling the quality requirements of a system. The quality attributes of a software system are, to a large extent determined by the system’s software architecture .Usability is an essential part of software quality. The usability of software has traditionally been eval...
متن کاملQuantitative Analysis of Shared Workspace Usability
In this paper we propose a discount analytical approach for quantitatively evaluating shared workspace usability. We started with existing models of human performance, developed in the Human-Computer Interaction field and thus focused on single user interactions, and studied the benefits of extending them to collaborative scenarios. The obtained results indicate that the proposed approach: (1) ...
متن کاملEnhancing Business Intelligence Applications with Value-Driven Feedback and Recommendation
Business intelligence (BI) systems support activities such as data analysis, managerial decision making, and businessperformance measurement. Our research investigates the integration of feedback and recommendation mechanisms (FRM) into BI solutions. We define FRM as textual, visual, and/or graphical cues that are embedded into front-end BI tools and guide the end-user to consider using certain...
