A commitment to usability in user interface design and development offers enormous benefits, including greater user productivity, more competitive products, lower support costs, and a more efficient development process. But what does it mean to be committed to usability? Inside, a twenty-year expert answers this question in full, presenting the techniques of Usability Engineering as a series of product lifecycle tasks that result directly in easier-to-learn, easier-to-use software. You'll learn to perform a complete requirements analysis and then incorporate the resulting goals and constraints in a highly structured, iterative design and development process. This process doesn't end with installation but instead begins anew with the collection of user feedback that will guide further development. Also covered are organizational issues related to the implementation of Usability Engineering, including cost justification, project planning, and organizational structures.

Features

  • Unites all current UE techniques in a single, authoritative resource, presenting a coherent lifecycle process in which each clearly defined task leads directly the next.
  • Teaches concrete, immediately usable skills to practitioners in all kinds of product development organizations-from internal departments to commercial developers to consultants.
  • Contains examples of actual software development projects and the ways in which they have benefited from Usability Engineering.
  • Deals in specifics, not generalities-provides detailed templates and instructions for every phase of the Usability Engineering lifecycle.
  • Pays special attention to Web site development and explains how Usability Engineering principles can be applied to the development of any interactive product.

致力於使用者介面設計和開發的可用性承諾帶來了巨大的好處,包括更高的使用者生產力、更具競爭力的產品、更低的支援成本和更高效的開發流程。但是,致力於可用性意味著什麼呢?在這本書中,一位有二十年經驗的專家全面回答了這個問題,將可用性工程的技術作為一系列產品生命周期任務呈現,直接產生更容易學習、更容易使用的軟體。

您將學習進行完整的需求分析,並將所得到的目標和限制納入高度結構化的迭代設計和開發過程中。這個過程不僅僅在安裝後結束,而是從收集用戶反饋開始,這將指導進一步的開發。還涵蓋了與實施可用性工程相關的組織問題,包括成本證明、項目計劃和組織結構。

特點:
- 將所有當前的可用性工程技術結合在一個權威資源中,呈現一個連貫的生命周期過程,每個明確定義的任務直接導致下一個任務。
- 教授具體、可立即使用的技能,適用於各種產品開發組織,從內部部門到商業開發者再到顧問。
- 包含實際軟體開發項目的例子,以及它們如何從可用性工程中受益。
- 講究具體細節,提供可用性工程生命周期的每個階段的詳細模板和指示。
- 特別關注網站開發,並解釋可用性工程原則如何應用於任何互動產品的開發。
