The usability perspective framework

The usability perspective framework is a tool under development supporting various stakeholders in contributing to software systems usability. This paper describes the work conducted so far and argues how the framework is expected to contribute to both academia and practitioners in industry. The framework's fit to software development systems is discussed and we argue why the framework might succeed where current usability work often fails. Finally the plans and ideas for future work are described.
