Towards Usable Analysis, Design and Modeling Tools

چکیده
In this paper, we discuss the issues preventing adoption of analysis, design and modeling (AMD) software development tools. We argue that AMD tools are experiencing the same problems observed with UI tools in the past. We recall those problems and outline the major developments that AMD tools should focus to achieve stronger market acceptance, in particular we argue that such an acceptance will only be possible with a new generation of developer-centric tools that clearly support UI specific activities.

Are Flexible Modeling Tools Applicable to Software Design Discussions?
We have been developing an approach to modeling which we call flexible modeling. Our aim is to support the work of prerequirements analysts whose activities are characterized by informal use of representations and evolution of both representations and concepts. However, we believe that the features of flexible modeling tools have more general applicability to tasks involving conceptual developm...
متن کاملCapability Analyzing of Solar Energy Based on Climatic Criteria Recognition in Iran’s Architectural Design by the Use of Fuzzy Analytical Hierarchy Process Method (FAHP)
Developing a comprehensive document based on the utmost use of renewable energy efficiency in the architecture design is the first step in national level to follow the goals of sustainable architecture and this is not possible without having a deep trend of the climatic compartment. The modeling of comprehensive energy plans in the architecture without having a quantitative approach is incomple...
متن کاملA framework for usable and secure system design
Despite existing work on dealing with security and usability concerns during the early stages of design, there has been little work on synthesising the contributions of these fields into processes for specifying and designing systems. Without a better understanding of how to deal with both concerns at an early stage, the design process risks disenfranchising stakeholders, and resulting systems ...
متن کاملDiscovery of Usability Patterns in Support of Green Purchasing
Market analysis indicates that consumers are increasingly becoming more aware of the impacts of the current choices and are showing interest in understanding how to choose more healthy, ethical, and environmentally friendly items. Given the abundance of information available for this task, it has increasingly become more difficult for consumers to decipher quality among the quantity. Design and...
متن کاملA UML-Based Tool for Designing User Interfaces
Existing software modeling tools are widely recognized to be hard to use and, hence, to adopt. We believe those usability problems are related to a legacy of formalism-centric tools that don’t promote the new challenges of modern software development. In this short paper, we briefly describe a new tool, under development, that tries to promote usability in modeling tools to support collaborativ...
