Eclipse Plug-in to Manage User Centered Design
نویسندگان
چکیده
User-centered design (UCD) approach guides the design of user interface (UI) and its evaluation by integrating user experience as part of the software development process. Involving users during the development process by applying UCD techniques minimizes risks and increases the product quality. One of the challenges towards this is to automating the management of UCD activities during the development time thus to steer and control the UCD activities within the development environment of software projects. In this paper, we present a plug-in for Eclipse development platform to manage UCD activities at the Integrated Development Environment (IDE) level. We develop and evaluate the plug-in with teams that work according to the agile software development approach. Using this plug-in, the development teams can manage UCD activities at IDE level hence developing high quality software products with adequate level of usability.
