Abstract |
Over the years the software engineering community has increasingly realized the important role of software architecture plays in fulfilling the quality requirements of a software system. It has been experienced that Software Architecture (SA) constrains the achievement of various quality attributes such as performance, security, maintainability and usability in a system. Reportedly, most software engineering projects reveals that a large number of usability related change requests are made after its deployment. Software patterns have proven to be a useful medium for capturing best practices. Building on the seminal work on software design patterns, usability patterns have been increasingly created to disseminate usability knowledge. In existing scenario-based software architecture analysis methods that focus on usability, the usage context is not employed to select scenarios used for analysis, it is known that understanding a specific usage context is important to carefully design for usability. |
