Practical Approaches for Interdisciplinary Interaction Design
Journal Title: Revista Romana de Interactiune Om-Calculator - Year 2009, Vol 2, Issue 2
Abstract
In this paper the evolution of software design methods is discussed with insights from the usability perspective. Usability is considered an essential factor in the success or failure of an interactive system, determining its acceptance or rejection. Although the software design methods are continuously evolving, as the user are considered essential stakeholders in the design process, there still can be notice shortages in the process of communicating between the users and the developers of the software solution. The paper presents the chronological evolution of design methods in parallel with the evolution of the usability concept, emphasizing the support provided by the design method for developing usable solutions. The article tries to correlate the software design approaches with the solutions provided by Human-Computer Interaction in order to improve the software design process. As the user centered design focuses on an interdisciplinary approach, the paper presents some practical methods of mixing the approaches from software engineering with methods provided by social sciences.
