Paper Abstract:
|
Software developers develop software containing features catering to the varied needs of users. Software solutions
employ capabilities of computing system as a means to allow users accomplish one or more specific tasks that benefit
them in real world thereby adding value at the time of usage. We can see that there exists less clarity on extent of value
experienced by users by usage of the software solution. There is even lesser clarity on the development process that
assures value and the various aspects of the software solution that creates value to users.
We propose a user value driven software development approach based on value creation system that exists between
software developers and users as our solution. In this approach we assert certainty in the delivered quality characteristics
of features by design and not by testing. We propose a theoretical framework based on value co-creation by cluster of
developers and users; accumulating value at different levels of understanding of the development process thereby
bringing clarity and exemplifying value to users. We illustrate our approach and theoretical framework that we adapt in
this paper. We also illustrate our approach for demarcating the various products in a software product line. |
