Extending the Rational Unified Process with a User Experience Discipline: a Case Study
نویسندگان
چکیده
The Rational Unified process is widely used as a process framework for software development. The introduction and use of the RUP is not straight forward. Experience and research have shown that some sort of tailoring of RUP to the software development organization and the software development projects is necessary to be able to use the framework in a productive way in the projects. In this paper we describe software development in an organization with high focus on the user experience aspects and user interface design in their projects. This organization did tailor RUP to its types of projects by adding a user experience discipline. An evaluation of two development projects using this tailored RUP was done by the means of Post Mortem analyses conducted by external researchers. The main conclusison is that RUP needs to be tailored to be able to support the design of user experience oriented issues, and that the RUP structure is suited for doing so.

Usability Design - Extending Rational Unified Process with a New Discipline
A new discipline, Usability Design, is proposed as an extension to Rational Unified Process (RUP). The aim is to make RUP more user-centred. The discipline springs out of best practices for user-centred design and contains activities that have been carefully tested. Five new roles are introduced to take responsibility for the different activities. An example is given to show the content of the ...
