  • Conference paper

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Computer Science ((LNTCS,volume 6017))

Abstract

The present research presents an agile methodology designed for the Web, to design or to re-engineer a software product by analyzing the product’s architecture, developing new user interface’s prototypes, and testing them using detailed usability criteria. The proposed methodology represents an innovative approach to provide to the end-users a product easily comprehensive and easy to use, based on modern user-machine interfaces. For this reason the approach represents an important achievement towards the comprehension of the inner mechanisms on which is based the human-computer interaction.
