Title
Software Support for Usability Measurement: An Application to Systems Engineering Data Exchange Development
Abstract
The goal of ensuring that usability measurement results can contribute to the ongoing development of a software product in a formative way is, in practice, difficult to achieve. The paper presents an innovative approach to supporting that process exemplified in SEDRES, a large European Aerospace collaborative project on developing a data exchange capability for systems engineering design tools. The main subject is the role of a software tool called NUD*IST (Non-numerical Unstructured Data Indexing Searching and Theorizing), in providing a method for longitudinal data collection and analysis and support for feedback to the project partners about the product under development. It describes the analysis techniques employed, the main features and operational use, followed by examples of results that can be obtained. The implications of the use of this tool for both the analysis process and support for formative evaluation are discussed and recommendations for improvements made.
