Integrating Usability Techniques into Rational Unified Process

RUP is a process that emphasizes the development of very complex projects that includes a great volume of activities and artifacts implying software developers do not consider usability aspects. In that way, there is a possibility of enriching this process by taking into account the benefits of Human-Computer Interaction (HCI). The main goal of this paper is to describe a strategy that provides usability to the business applications within the Rational Unified Process (RUP).
