SOFTWARE SYSTEM FOR ASSESSING AND MANAGING USABILITY OF SOFTWARE UNDER FLEXIBLE DEVELOPMENT
Keywords:
Software, software usability, flexible development, users' reviews, automated usability evaluation, management of usability.Abstract
The article describes the software system that implements developed by the author method of iterative automated assessment and management of software usability under agile development for the purpose of taking into account users’ feedback. Characteristics of basic components, their purpose and features of program implementation are given. The evaluation of efficiency of developed software is described, namely: an empirical study and its results.References
