In addition to increasing productivity, students examine how people aspire to interact with

Usability engineering practitioners, though they still ended. Each team member has a Function Man-

Agile teams use user stories to define, manage, and test. How- ever, the UX Team must analyze the
problems they iden- tify and determine if there is time to fix these issues in the same sprint or if they
should be documented and car- ried over into the next sprint. 4. Case Description We performed a
field study in an ongoing project of a medium-sized company in order to evaluate if the pro- posed
framework fits in a re al project and how some as- pects of the integration of UX and Agile work in
the real world. It is a comprehensive directory of online programs, and MOOC Programs. Contact Us

software development processes. As a manifestation of this, the waterfall model and the latest
methodology have been included in the software development processes of the first period and there
are a variety of sub-disciplines and agile methods. This paper focuses on identifying the tensions
between usability and agile methods. Editor IJCATR Measure the Similarity of Complaint Document
Using Cosine Similarity Based on. A study of UX designers and their in teractions with an Agile
team working on the same project was carried out over three iterations—45 days. It is much more
difficult and time consuming to plan how to. With different levels of inclusion.”—UX3). We suggest
that UX members sh ould be dedicated to one team or a very small number of teams in order to
avoid issues. Although stakeholders can track progress through extensive documentation, they
usually have to wait until the last stages of the development to be able to get their hands on a
working release of the software. It is worthwhile to mention that these tests should be conducted
with real users. Testers have to be ever-ready for prompt testing of each iteration so that the
developers can move on to the next. The rese archer was seated with a UX member that was
observing these projects. 4.4. Data Collection We used two first-degree data collection techniques:
ob- servations and interviews. The question here is, how to integrate UCD with agile models. Some
results of their study were that using iterative development—an Agile practice— facilitates usability
testing, allows software developers to incorporate results of those tests into subsequent itera- tions,
and can significantly improve the quality of the re- lationship between UI designers and software
developers. We recommend the use of a User Experience Board for maintaining a shared vision
where possible. Some companies have their own customized methodology for developing their
software but the majority speaks about two kinds of methodologies: heavyweight and lightweight.
Specific tools such as test-driven development, unit testing, pair programming help improve the
quality of the product. Measure the Similarity of Complaint Document Using Cosine Similarity

development teams are the key success or failure factor in agile process. The practice on which we
based this work—a field study carried out in a company that tries to combine UX and
Agile—showed us some aspects that work and some that do not work in this sp ecific real-world
environment. This could be due to historical issues su ch as no t unders tanding th e n eed for a good

that Agile RE performs better than Traditional RE in large organizations where changes evolve
throughout the development phase of software life cycle. Mobile applications are now
contextualizing proximity. We noticed that the UX Team makes really good use of prototypes.
Nielsen identifies threats of agile methods Nielsen (2008). The production of software, which is not
in need of personal need, but increasing in importance in the institutional sense, has changed the
dimension with the fourth industrial revolution. The research aim is to identify the common approach
of agile methods and usability engineering by surveying extensive related work on integration of
usability and agile methods. For example: “ UX people should be Pigs 10.”—PM. UX people
should be more committed to the projects. Based on Presentation by Mira Balaban Department of

knows the benefits of designing one sprint ahead, it is not possible for now because they did not find
the time yet (“ We should work at least one sprint ahead the development team. ”—UX3). One of
the problems is that the UX Team members do not have time to design one sprint ahead of the
develop- ment team, probably because they are busy with other projects. Efficient product delivery is

Agile is an umbrella term for a set of methods and techniques based on principles mentioned in the
Agile manifesto. In the company observed there are: Project Manager, Product Manager, Function
Man- ager and Team. The practice on which we based this work—a field study carried out in a
company that tries to combine UX and Agile—showed us some aspects that work and some that do
not work in this sp ecific real-world environment. Stakeholders are welcome to propose changes and
redefine priorities, even at the late stages. Also, requires effort and training to implement, and
software companies that have been using traditional approaches for years can find it difficult to
switch to agile methodologies. Software Engineering projects have some involvement of. The
Interaction Design team should deliver the Story Cards to the development team. This length of time

lead to careers in research, engineering and academia. Also authors demonstrate how strength and

Nielsen, is that agile. Moreover, in general, the studies pro- vide experience reports or propose an
approach without any kind of verification or validation. The strengths and weakness between the
two opposing methodologies are discussed and the challenges associated with implementing agile
processes in the software industry are provided. Performing user testing during the sprints is hard
given the time required to prepare, schedule, conduct, and ana- lyze this type of test. Using simple

agile model involves automated tested code while UCD involves an expert or a user to test the user

Another obvious physical difference for mobile applications is. For any new members joining the
team, they could be in the dark regarding some of the features and functionalities. Work out the
interface for a story before development starts (Sprint 0). Together they formed the Agile Alliance
and published the Manifesto for Agile Software Development. Project Y: one demo meeting, three
planning meet- ings, three retrospective meetings and two user testing sessions. Most Agile
development methods break development into small increments to minimize planning ahead.
Therefore they also need quick delivery of software products as well as for change in the
requirements. Usability and agile are well compatible and they can work together. The practice on
which we based this work—a field study carried out in a company that tries to combine UX and

the same time minimize these cost s and risks, the proposed framework suggests the use of usab ility

collaborate closely with Developers because UX Designers are working on mul- tiple projects and
that UX Designers cannot work up front because they are too busy with too many projects at the
