Little Design Up-Front: A Design Science Approach to Integrating Usability into Agile Requirements Engineering
نویسندگان
چکیده
In recent years, Design Science has gained wide recognition and acceptance as a formal research method in many disciplines including information systems. Design Science research in Human-Computer Interaction is not so abundant. HCI is a discipline primarily focusing on design, evaluation, and implementation where design plays the role as a process as well as an artefact. In this paper, we present a design science approach using “Little Design Up Front” to integrate the User-Centred Design perspective into Agile Requirements Engineering. We also present the results of two agile projects to validate the proposition that incorporating UCD perspective into Agile Software Development improves the design quality of software systems.

Continuous Requirements Engineering and Human-Centered Agile Software Development
The idea of Continuous Requirements Engineering in relation to a Human-Centered Agile Development Process is discussed. First, it is argued that Continuous Requirements Engineering has to cover design-time and runtime aspects. In this way maintenance is covered as well. Second, arguments are provided for integrating aspects of usability and user experience into requirements specifications. This...

متن کاملIntegrating scenario-based usability engineering and agile software development
Agile development methodologies are becoming increasingly popular because they address many risks of software development through things such as quick delivery of working software and responsiveness to change. As agile organizations have begun to develop more user interface-intensive systems, they understand the value and need to design more usable systems. The fields of usability engineering a...
متن کاملRequirements Engineering Related Usability Techniques Adopted in Agile Development Processes
Context: Over the last decade there has been a growing interest in the integration of agile software development process (ASDP) and user-centred design (UCD). However, there are no papers that study which usability techniques related to requirements engineering are being adopted in the ASDP, and there are no formalized proposals for their adoption. Objective: Identify which techniques related t...
متن کاملUsability in Agile Software Development: Extending the Interaction Design Process with Personas Approach
The current agile software development methods do not seem to address usability and interaction design issues enough, i.e., the interaction design process may remain implicit. However, few studies with positive results have been conducted concerning integrating explicit interaction design process into agile software development. In this study, the interaction design process of Mobile-D is exten...
