Usability Engineering

printThis page:

Imagine you introduce new software and with a minimum of training your staff uses it intuitively and performs tasks more efficiently. How that works? Simply by making the future user the focus and touchstone for the development of the solution: with regards to manageability, user guidance, consistent navigation and graphical presentation.

At itCampus, usability consultants work hand in glove at it with graphic designers as well as software developers. Together with our customers we jointly determine the relevant parameters for software made to measure.

Keep One Eye on the User

Usability Engineering describes the ideal adaptation of software to the needs of the user (user orientation) under consideration of the demands of the area of application (task orientation). This software ergonomic reflection is present at all stages of the project – we work in line with a certified design process.

At the beginning of a project we develop the requirements for the software together. From there on the interaction design describes the structure and workflow within the planned application using storyboards and navigation trees. This leads to a concept, which defines and characterizes the general conditions for the implementation from a software ergonomic point of view. As a result usability test can already be conducted at the early development stages. At the same time usability engineering focuses on the conception of the target stage under conventionality aspects.
