This paper argues for a model-driven framework for integrating human interface engineering with software engineering. The usage-centered design process, a robust and proven process grounded in software engineering, is briefly described and contrasted with traditional user-centered approaches. The connections between the core models of usage-centered design and their software engineering counter...

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.
