Integrating HCI and Software Engineering techniques in the requirements specification of a modeling tool
Abstract
Adopting methods that explore the end users’ perspective and their usage preferences can contribute to identifying appropriate usability requirements. This paper reports on the use of personas, user stories, and usability guidelines to specify the requirements of a modeling tool. The methods allowed to create the personas that represent the people who will use the tool, to identify the potential requirements of the personas and to enrich them with usability aspects. This report contributes to the dissemination of a practical experience of integration of HCI techniques in the development process of interactive systems.
Keywords:
requirements, usability, personas, user stories
