Where should usability techniques and HCD knowledge be considered
in the existing software development lifecycle to maximize
benefits gained from SE and HCD approaches? This book provides an
integrative answer while proposing a systematic approach for the
adoption, assessment and deployment of usability engineering
methods within software development teams.
Where should usability techniques and HCD knowledge be considered

integrative answer while proposing a systematic approach for the
adoption, assessment and deployment of usability engineering
methods within software development teams.
The proposed approach, called adoption-centric usability
engineering (ACUE), provides a process to capture usability
engineering methods together with a context profile. The context
profile encodes human factors that contributed to acceptance or
rejection of usability methods in past projects. This
context-sensitive description of usability engineering is called
a USEPack (Usability Engineering Experience Package).

Written for software developers, managers, educators and
graduates from Academia and Industry, this book provides a
complete, step-by-step approach for cost-effective integration of
usability engineering methods in the software development
lifecycle.
