Title: Human Centered Software Engineering: If it doesn't work for people, it doesn't work!
Abstract:
For
modern software and systems with software to be successful, it has to
not only work, it also must provide an engaging, useful and usable
experience.
This talk presents an integrated approach to practical software design
for use by humans. The talk covers best practices of Human-Centered
Design (HCD) as well as its Return On Investment; HCD methods useful to
software development
and an overall HCD lifecycle model; and finally a process framework that
combines and unifies HCD with Software Engineering to improve
development of systems for use by humans.
The talk is based on many
years' experience in both research as well as our students’ repeated
success in following this integrated design method in their year-long
capstone project course at UC Irvine.
