Although the user-orientation of user interfaces has become a decisive factor for the acceptance of technical devices, their development still poses an enormous challenge to both industrial companies and researchers. In a systematic Useware development process, the analysis of the users and their tasks, the devices' technical functionalities, as well as the ranges and fields of applications, is essential in the development of user interfaces. The Useware development process in its entirety, however, is not yet supported by computer-based tools; at the best, dedicated tools for individual phases support the development teams. This paper therefore introduces a tool chain that can support development teams in a systematic Useware development process, spanning all its phases from the initial analyses to the actual implementation.
