USABILITY IN THE SOFTWARE LIFE CYCLE

The objective of this chapter is to clarify the role of usability processes and methods within the software life cycle. After discussing the concept of usability as quality factor and providing various definitions, including those in ISO standards, it presents the user-centered design methodology for designing usable systems and provides indications on how to include usability in the software life cycle.
