This paper investigates the relationship between software development methodologies and usability. The point of departure is the assumption that two important disciplines in software development, one of software development methods (SDMs) and one of usability work, are not integrated in industrial software projects. Building on previous research we investigate two questions;(1) Will software companies generally acknowledge the importance of usability, but not prioritise it in industrial projects? and (2) To what degree are software development methods and usability perceived by practitioners as being integrated? To this end a survey in the Norwegian IT industry was conducted. From a sample of 259 companies we received responses from 78 companies. In response to our first research question, our findings show that although there is a positive bias towards usability, the importance of usability testing is perceived to be much less than that of usability requirements. Given the strong time and cost pressures associated with the software industry, we believe that these results highlight that there is a gap between intention and reality. Regarding our second research question our survey revealed that companies perceive usability and software development methods to be integrated. This is in contrast to earlier research, which, somewhat pessimistically, has argued for the existence of two different cultures, one of software development and one of usability. The findings give hope for the future, in particular because the general use of system development methods are pragmatic and adaptable. (C) 2008 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

A CATALOGING FRAMEWORK FOR software-development methods

引用

COMPUTER 1993年第2期26卷 34-&页

作者： KARAM, GM CASSELMAN, RS Dept. of Syst. & Comput. Eng. Carleton Univ. Ottawa Ont.

A framework providing a basis for comparing and evaluating software development methods (SDMs), which are systems of technical procedures and notational conventions for the organized construction of software-based systems, is presented. Using the framework, practitioners and methodologists can describe and rate an SDM's support for 21 properties. The application of the framework to two examples, OMT and R.J.A. Buhr's (1990) architectural design, is discussed. Several suggested uses of the framework include: comparing a group of SDMs with one another; defining a standard in terms of the framework and then using this as a basis for discussion; examining an SDM to discover its coverage and capabilities; and combining the properties of different SDMs to create a new SDM

In seeking to complement consultants' and tool vendors' reports, there has been an increasing academic focus on understanding the adoption and use of software development methods and practices. We surveyed practitioners working in Brazil, Finland, and New Zealand in a transnational study to contribute to these efforts. Among our findings we observed that most of the 184 practitioners in our sample focused on a small portfolio of projects that were of short duration. In addition, Scrum and Kanban were used most;however, some practitioners also used conventional methods. Coding Standards, Simple Design and Refactoring were used most by practitioners, and these practices were held to be largely suitable for project and process management. Our evidence points to the need to properly understand and support a wide range of software methods.

software projects nowadays are typically sourced from more than one location. This dispersed situation requires a higher degree of regulation mechanisms than provided in agile development methods. Workarounds for scaling agile practices to the distributed development scenario exist. which are mostly not of any value for decision makers, since they still merely provide an ad-hoc way of setting up distributed software development projects. Especially smaller distributed software projects are in demand for methodical support for this task. We propose a systematic approach - called "Collaborative Pattern Approach" - for deriving a distributed development process from an existing co-located process. Our approach focuses on a) defining cross-location collaboration and b) assessing the quality of the derived distributed development process. We demonstrate our approach in an example case.

Leaving inconsistency using fuzzy logic

引用

INFORMATION AND software TECHNOLOGY 2001年第12期43卷 725-741页

作者： Marcelloni, F Aksit, M Univ Pisa Dipartimento Ingn Informat Elettron I-56122 Pisa Italy Univ Twente Dept Comp Sci NL-7500 AE Enschede Netherlands

Current software development methods do not provide adequate means to model inconsistencies and therefore force software engineers to resolve inconsistencies whenever they are detected. Certain kinds of inconsistencies, however, are desirable and should be maintained as long as possible. For instance, when multiple conflicting solutions exist for the same problem, each solution should be preserved to allow further refinements along the development process. An early resolution of inconsistencies may result in loss of information and excessive restriction of the design space. This paper aims to enhance the current methods by modeling and controlling the desired inconsistencies through the application of fuzzy logic-based techniques. It is shown that the proposed approach increases the adaptability and reusability of design models. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.

Models and languages for parallel computation

引用

ACM COMPUTING SURVEYS 1998年第2期30卷 123-169页

作者： Skillicorn, DB Talia, D Queens Univ Kingston ON K7L 3N6 Canada Univ Calabria DEIS CNR ISI I-87036 Arcavacata Di Rende CS Italy

We survey parallel programming models and languages using six criteria to assess their suitability for realistic portable parallel programming. We argue that an ideal model should be easy to program, should have a software development methodology, should be architecture-independent, should be easy to understand, should guarantee performance, and should provide accurate information about the cost of programs. These criteria reflect our belief that developments in parallelism must be driven by a parallel software industry based on portability and efficiency. We consider programming models in six categories, depending on the level of abstraction they provide. Those that are very abstract conceal even the presence of parallelism at the software level. Such models make software easy to build and port, but efficient and predictable performance is usually hard to achieve. At the other end of the spectrum, low-level models make all of the messy issues of parallel programming explicit (how many threads, how to place them, how to express communication, and how to schedule communication), so that software is hard to build and not very portable, but is usually efficient. Most recent models are near the center of this spectrum, exploring the best tradeoffs between expressiveness and performance. A few models have achieved both abstractness and efficiency. Both kinds of models raise the possibility of parallelism as part of the mainstream of computing.

Participatory Data Design: Managing Data Sovereignty in IoT Solutions

引用

INTERACTING WITH COMPUTERS 2022年第2期34卷 60-71页

作者： Bowen, Judy Hinze, Annika Univ Waikato Hamilton 3240 New Zealand

Within the software engineering community, deciding how to collect, store and use personal data has become about more than just understanding our users. This paper considers ethical data use that includes cultural considerations and data ownership rights. We discuss indigenous data sovereignty as a concept and how it potentially impacts technological solutions that gather personal data from users. We propose an extension to typical user-centred design processes, which we call participatory data design. This incorporates the use of frameworks and tools that specifically focus on managing data within the cultural context it is gathered from. We also present a specific example of how we have used this approach in the context of a data collection project from Maori workers in New Zealand forestry. We conclude with a discussion of the wider implications of this approach.

Apathy Towards the Integration of Usability Work: A Case of System Justification

引用

INTERACTING WITH COMPUTERS 2016年第4期28卷 437-450页

作者： Wale-Kolade, Adeola Nielsen, Peter Axel Univ Agder Dept Informat Syst Kristiansand Norway Aalborg Univ Dept Comp Sci Aalborg Denmark

In this article, we report from a case study of an agile software development organization and we study in particular the developers' and product managers' attitudes towards integrating usability work into software development. We offer explanations based on system justification theory illuminating what would-be integrators might be up against. The analysis shows how the developers only pay lip service to usability work and how they treat users superficially. It further shows how that leads to stereotyping of usability designers and users in order to preserve status quo, and how internalization of inequality between the developers and usability designers rationalizes the preservation of status quo. These findings will have significant implications for managers of software development.

When are methods complementary?

INFORMATION AND software TECHNOLOGY 1999年第3期41卷 157-162页

作者： Paige, RF York Univ Dept Comp Sci N York ON M3J 1P3 Canada

In this article, we address the issue of when software development methods are complementary, i.e., we determine when a method is capable of a task that another method cannot perform. Our intent is to examine complementarity in order to help determine when to carry out,method integration. Here, we propose some factors for method complementarity, and suggest that context-dependent criteria, such as real-world domain and non-functional development requirements, may have a significant impact on method complementarity.

Current practice in software engineering: a survey

引用

COMPUTING & CONTROL ENGINEERING JOURNAL 1997年第4期8卷 167-172页

作者： Holt, J Univ Wales Swansea Swansea W Glam Wales

The results of a survey carried out between November 1995 and March 1996 are given. The aim of the survey was to see exactly how widely software engineering techniques were being adopted in the UK today. The rationale behind the survey was simple: to see which of a selected set of software engineering techniques were being used. The techniques included in the survey were: methods and methodologies, standards, CASE tools and software engineering process quality manuals. Several other general questions were also asked. The results were surprising, and showed a considerable lack of use of software engineering practices, despite evidence of a strong urge to conform with international standards.
