Maturing usability: quality in software, interaction and value

Maturing Usability provides an understanding of how current research and practice has contributed towards improving quality issues in software, interactionand value. Divided into three parts, “Quality in Software” looks at how usingdevelopment tools can enhance the usability of a system, and how methods and models can be integrated into the process to help develop effective user interfaces. “Quality in Interaction” addresses theoretical frameworks on the natureof interactions techniques and metrics for evaluation interaction quality andthe transfer of concepts and methods from research to practice. Finally, “Quality in Value” assesses the impact that a system has in the real world, focusing on increasing the value of usability practice for software development and on increasing value for users. A balance between theoretical and empirical approaches is maintained throughout, and all those interested in exploring usability issues in human-computer interaction will find this a very useful book.
