Agile human-centered software engineering

چکیده
We seek to close the gap between software engineering (SE) and human-computer interaction (HCI) by indicating interdisciplinary interfaces throughout the different phases of SE and HCI lifecycles. As agile representatives of SE, Extreme Programming (XP) and Agile Modeling (AM) contribute helpful principles and practices for a common engineering approach. We present a cross-discipline user interface design lifecycle that integrates SE and HCI under the umbrella of agile development. Melting IT budgets, pressure of time and the demand to build better software in less time must be supported by traveling as light as possible. We did, therefore, choose not just to mediate both disciplines. Following our surveys, a rather radical approach best fits the demands of engineering organizations.

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 کاملQualitative Analysis of Semantically Enabled Knowledge Management Systems in Agile Software Engineering
In many agile software engineering organizations there is not enough time to follow knowledge management processes, to retrieve knowledge in complex processes, or to systematically elicit knowledge. This chapter gives an overview about the human-centered design of semantically-enabled knowledge management systems based on Wikis used in agile software engineering environments. The methodology – ...

Agile methods have had a profound and beneficial impact on the development of products and processes. This article suggests that they are an enlightened reaction to the misuse and abuse of the half-century old classical systems engineering method, drawing particular attention to XP, RUP, FDD, and Scrum. The role of ergonomists, in promoting human-centered design throughout the life of the proje...

متن کاملIncorporating User Centered Requirement Engineering into Agile Software Development
Agile Software Engineering approaches gain more and more popularity in today’s development organizations. The need for usable products is also a growing factor for organizations. Thus, their development processes have to react on this demand and have to offer approaches to integrate the factor “usability” in their development processes. The approach presented in this paper evaluates how agile s...
