Universal Design Practices for Software.

Software Design Principles and Practices

Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) has an on-going process improvement program that is assessed against I S 0 and CMMl criteria. To help JPL meet these criteria, a Sofiare Quality Improvement project was recently established to define sofiare requirements, guidelines, and processes consistent with these tuo standards and infuse this technology into the organization. In support of this tays the aut...

Adaptive Practices for Software Excellence

I f fast-paced, high requirements volatility, and uncertainty characterize your development environment, and you can’t figure out how to succeed, then Adaptive Software Development by James Highsmith can help. It offers an innovative approach grounded in the theory of complex adaptive systems, and it’s both well researched and timely. Its real attraction, however, is that it provides a holistic...

Studying Work Practices to Assist Tool Design in Software Engineering

This paper reports our experiences studying the work practices of professional software engineers (SEs). We provide our reasons for following this approach, and describe details such as the discovery of work patterns, and the use of synchronized shadowing. We outline several studies we are currently conducting in a large telecommunications company and explain how these studies influenced the de...

Evolving practices of end user articulation in software co-design

Participatory design (PD) has a long history and originated in the democratic framing of design activities for workplace settings. The research field of PD investigates methods and tools which involve users in (re-) design activities. In order to meet the user’s needs, the codesign of software systems should be initiated at an early stage and continuously adapted. A variety of activities help t...
