End user
End users are the ultimate human users
(also referred to as operators) of a
software product. The term is used to
abstract and distinguish those who only
use the software from the developers of
the system, who enhance the software for
end users.[4] In user-centered design, it
also distinguishes the software operator
from the client who pays for its
development and other stakeholders who
may not directly use the software, but help
establish its requirements.[5][6] This
abstraction is primarily useful in designing
the user interface, and refers to a relevant
subset of characteristics that most
expected users would have in common.
