Usability Requirements

Nowadays there are sound Model-Driven Development (MDD) methods that deal with functional requirements, but in general, usability is not considered from the early stages of the development. Analysts that work with MDD implement usability features manually once the code has been generated. This manual implementation contradicts the MDD paradigm and it may involve much rework. This paper proposes a method to elicit usability requirements at early stages of the software development process such a way non-experts at usability can use it. The approach consists of organizing several interface design guidelines and usability guidelines in a tree structure. These guidelines are shown to the analyst through questions that she/he must ask to the end-user. Answers to these questions mark the path throughout the tree structure. At the end of the process, the paper gathers all the answers of the end-user to obtain the set of usability requirements. If it represents usability requirements according to the conceptual models that compose the framework of a MDD method, these requirements can be the input for next steps of the software development process. The approach is validated with a laboratory demonstration.

Domain Specific Modeling

End-user programming may utilize Domain-Specific Modeling Languages (DSMLs) to develop applications in the form of models, using only abstractions found in a specific problem domain. Indeed, the productivity benefits reported from Model-Driven Development (MDD) are hard to ignore, and a number of MDD solutions are flourishing. However, not all stories from industry on MDD are successful. End-users, without having software development skills, are more likely to introduce software errors than professional programmers. In this study, we propose and encourage other DSML developers to extend the development of DSML with tool support. We believe the programming tools (e.g., debugger, testing tool, refactoring tool) are also needed for end-users to ensure the proper functioning of the products they develop. It is imperative that domain experts are provided with tools that work on the abstraction level that is familiar to them. In this paper, an industrial experience is presented for building various tools for usage in MDD. Debugger, automated testing infrastructure, refactoring, and other tools were implemented for Sequencer, a DSML. Our experience with the implementation of tool support for MDD confirms that these tools are indispensable for end-user programming in practice, and that implementing those tools might not be as costly as expected.
