This book is about achieving usability in product user interface design through a process called Usability Engineering. Usability Engineering techniques presented include not only UI requirements analysis, design and evaluation techniques, but also organizational and managerial strategies. The book is organized around a typical project lifecycle, and presents usability engineering techniques, which can be applied at different points in the development process. FEATURES:Readers can put usability engineering to work in their product development organisation to eliminate the costs of unusable software. The lifecycle and its tasks can also be adapted to support the development of any kind of interactive consumer product. Special attention is paid to how to adapt the lifecyle and its tasks to Web development projects, which although unique in certain ways, are really just another kind of software. Real examples are included of work products from usability engineering tasks from the author's own practice, and lots of 'war stories' relating to carrying out these tasks in the real world.
