
Integrating Usability Evaluation into Software
Development: Concepts, and Experiences
using Remote Usability Testing.
RQ (2 obstacles to apply UE)


How can software developers to use Remote
Usability Testing to conduct usability evaluations
in an economic way?
How can Remote Usability Testing improve the
Software Developers' Mindset about the
usability issues in a software system?
RQ for sub-project research
software innovation
 Foundations

Agile methods and Usability Evaluation (UE)


for RQs:
Could be related with innovation in software?
Agile methodologies:



Could implies innovation.
But, also some restrictions (roles, protocols,
etc.)
Could limit UE
RQ for sub-project research
software innovation
 Foundations
for RQ:

Usability Evaluation
 Imply predictability

Limitation of innovation?

Approach suggested:

interchanging roles (agile-UE)
RQ for sub-project research
software innovation
 How
Remote Usability Testing (RUT) can
be integrated in SCRUM, to produce an
innovative process of evaluating the
usability?
 How RUT´s actors can be interchanged
with the SCRUM´s actors, to produce an
innovative process of evaluating the
usability?
Software innovation topics

 Other
related with innovation.
Other considerations
 Software:

Postmortem Control of Systems Projects (For
System Engineering Department – EI-UNACR).
 Interactions

with research subjects:
members of the SCRUM team (will
interchange their roles with RUT roles)
