RPS Research into Design — Supporting Sustainable Product Development “icord2011-lineup ” 2010/12/24 159 INSTITUTIONALIZATION OF Usability IN BANKING SOFTWARE ENVIRONMENT: TASKS AND CHALLENGES
2016Co-Authors: Anshuman SharmaAbstract:This paper looks at typical banking software environment and challenges faced by Usability Team to be effective and useful. Usability Team needs to work on multiple threads at the same time to be effective, visible and recognized. It may take a couple of years before any concrete results can be seen. The objective for a Usability group is to be a part of the PDLC as a self-sustaining unit which does not depend on the blessing of the senior management. The paper articulates several challenges and the steps taken by a new Usability Team to achieve recognition and be an important player in the overall scheme of things. Integration of Usability process into PDLC helped banking software receive high ratings from clients and have helped the banking software to be among the top three software globally as per Celent, Forrester and Gartner reports

oclc s worldcat local versus iii s webpac which interface is better at supporting common user tasks
Library Hi Tech, 2010Co-Authors: Bob Thomas, Stefanie BuckAbstract:Purpose – This paper aims to describe the results of a Usability test performed at Western Washington University to determine whether users were as successful performing common catalog‐related tasks in WorldCat Local as they are in the library's current catalog, Innovative Interfaces' WebPAC.Design/methodology/approach – A Usability Team developed a test based on tasks commonly performed in the library catalog. They then tested 24 participants of varying levels of experience and asked each to perform 20 common catalog tasks in either the WebPAC interface currently in use or the WorldCat Local interface. The WorldCat Local interface was a test version which reflected Western Washington University's library holdings, in addition to the Orbis Cascade Alliance consortial holdings and all WorldCat holdings.Findings – While the results found that there were tasks in which participants were more successful in WorldCat Local than in the WebPAC, they also identified common tasks in which users were far less succes...

an assessment of the Usability quality attribute in open source software
2010Co-Authors: Mahesh Chandra YelleswarapuAbstract:Usability is one of the important quality attributes. Open source software products are well known for their efficiency and effectiveness. Lack of Usability in OSS (Open Source Software) products will result in poor usage of the product. In OSS development there is no Usability Team, and one could therefore expect that the Usability would be low for these products. In order to find out if this was really the case we made a Usability evaluation using a questionnaire for four OSS products. The questionnaire was based on a review of existing literature. This questionnaire was presented to 17 people who are working with open source products. This evaluation showed that the overall Usability was above average for all the four products. It seems, however, that the lack of a Usability Team has made the OSS products less easy to use for inexperienced users. Based on the responses to questionnaire and a literature review, a set of guidelines and hints for increasing the Usability of OSS products was defined.
