Towards a Usability Model for Software Development Process and Practice

摘要

Context/Background: Process and practice adoption is a key element in modern software process improvement initiatives, and many of them fail. Goal: This paper presents a preliminary version of a usability model for software development process and practice. Method: This model integrates different perspectives, the ISO Standard on Systems and Software Quality Models (ISO 25010) and classic usability literature. For illustrating the feasibility of the model, two experts applied it to Scrum. Results: Metrics values were mostly positive and consistent between evaluators. Conclusions: We find the model feasible to use and potentially beneficial.
