Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is for business leaders looking to build software that creates better business outcomes by delivering effective product experiences. Over the last decade one of the biggest trends in technology has been a growing appreciation for the User Experience (UX). UX Lifecycle provides a UX methodology framework for implementing continuous improvement within organizations. It will help to address the basics such as defining what UX is; the importance of research; how UX is a process and not a job title; and where business value comes from improving efficiency, effectiveness, and satisfaction. At the heart of the UX process is the most important stakeholder--the user. This book will help you create the business case, education, processes, skills, tools, and the philosophy to deliver effective and enjoyable user experiences. These in turn will drive success in the modern software-enabled organization. FEATURES: Demonstrates a flexible 3-stage methodology that can be applied to organizations of all sizes to implement an end-to-end, iterative UX process Includes two case studies, one for a medium-sized organization and another for a large enterprise that outlines the story for each, from identifying the UX need, through creating a business case, to implementation of the UX Lifecycle, and successful outcomes Discusses key considerations for readers looking to create a business case for UX within their organization and engaging senior business roles around the necessary business changesrequired Each chapter includes key take-aways that summarize actionable and easy to reference insights

Book excerpt: Computers used to be for geeks. And geeks were fine with dealing with a difficult and finicky interface--they liked this--it was even a sort of badge of honor (e.g. the Unix geeks). But making the interface really intuitive and useful--think about the first Macintosh computers--took computers far far beyond the geek crowd. The Mac made HCI (human c

Fully updated, extended and revised this book is based upon the original publication Evaluating User Experience in Games, and provides updated methods and approaches ranging from user- orientated methods to game specific approaches. New and emerging methods and areas explored include physiologically- orientated UX evaluation, user behaviour, telemetry based methods and social play as effective evaluation techniques for gaming design and evolving user-experience. Game User Experience Evaluation allows researchers, PhD students as well as game designers and developers to get an overview on available methods for all stages of the development life cycle.

Book Integrating a Usable Security Protocol into User Authentication Services Design Process

Download or read book Integrating a Usable Security Protocol into User Authentication Services Design Process written by Christina Braz and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2018-11-08 with total page 281 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is an intrinsic conflict between creating secure systems and usable systems. But usability and security can be made synergistic by providing requirements and design tools with specific usable security principles earlier in the requirements and design phase. In certain situations, it is possible to increase usability and security by revisiting design decisions made in the past; in others, to align security and usability by changing the regulatory environment in which the computers operate. This book addresses creation of a usable security protocol for user authentication as a natural outcome of the requirements and design phase of the authentication method development life cycle.
