A Three-Fold Integration Framework to Incorporate User-Centered Design into Agile Software Development
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present a framework that incorporates user-centered design (UCD) philosophy into agile software development through a three-fold integration approach: at the process life-cycle level for the selection and application of appropriate UCD methods and techniques in the right places at the right times; at the iteration level for integrating UCD concepts, roles, and activities during each agile development iteration planning; and at the development-environment level for managing and automating the sets of UCD activities through automated tools support. We also present two automated tools—UEMan and TaMUlator, which provide the realization of the development-environment level integration.
