Paper Abstract:
|
This paper presents a novel usability requirements engineering method called Interaction Deconstruction, which supports user interface design in the interaction design process. The basic idea of the Interaction Deconstruction is to break down user actions into sub-actions and define, for each sub-action, the relevant usability-related attributes. This method is composed of three steps: defining the set of organized actions, constructing an organized tree structure, and setting the usability- and user experience related attributes for node states. The Interaction Deconstruction method differs favorably from existing usability requirements engineering methods. Firstly, it supports defining both usability and user experience requirements in parallel. Secondly, it utilizes psychological knowledge to engineer scientifically justifiable requirements. Thirdly, our method defines the relevant user-related attributes at the level of sub-actions. This is particularly beneficial in situations when interaction tasks are easy to separate into several sub-actions. |
