Communication: usability engineering

IPCC 91 Proceedings The Engineered Communication, 2002
Usability engineering can enrich communications design from concept to post-release with information derived from consultation with and observation of users. The author brings a human-factors perspective to two key questions: when and how to test ideas with typical end-users. This paper is based on a detailed human-factors development cycle and focuses

A formal approach to the usability engineering

Proceedings of the Latin American conference on Human-computer interaction - CLIHC '03, 2003
The quality of an interactive system can be measured in terms of its usability. Empirical approaches to usability evaluation attempt to assess the system under real usage conditions. This type of approach can be very expensive. Analytical approaches have been proposed as a means of reasoning about usability issues from early in development.

Usability Engineering im Entwicklungsprozess

2010
Ein Vorgehen fur Usability Engineering zu beschreiben, das auf all die verschiedenen Situationen passt, die Sie antreffen werden, ist unserer Ansicht nach nicht moglich. Sie werden auch kein „Kochbuch“ fur die Anwendung von Usability-Methoden zu lesen bekommen. Die folgenden Kapitel sollen vielmehr eine Hilfestellung geben, wie Usability Engineering in
