- This article presents a lightweight form of usage-centered design. Fully compatible with both traditional object-oriented software engineering methods and newer agile techniques such as Extreme Programming, this approach has proved particularly effective in designing highly usable Web-based applications. It employs rapid, card-based techniques to develop simplified models of user roles, tasks, and user interface contents. This process attempts to resolve the conflict between the demands of rapid iterative design and incremental development on the one hand and the needs for integrity in a user interface fitted to the full set of user tasks on the other. The resolution depends on creating a navigation architecture and a visual and interaction design scheme based on quick but comprehensive task modeling. The authors illustrate the process with experiences from the design of a Web-deployed application for classroom teachers.

Ten Deadly Risks in Internet and Intranet Software Development ( Donald Reifer ; IEEE Software Magazine 2002-03)

Visual Basic and the Future of Web-Application Development ( David Clark ; IEEE Computer Magazine 2001-08)

Using Card Sorts to Elicit Web Page Quality Attributes ( Linda Upchurch, Gordon Rugg, Barbara Kitchenham ; IEEE Software Magazine 2001-07)

- The Internet's rapid expansion has given rise to a new set of problems that require new ways to measure and evaluate Web pages. Although numerous guidelines for Web site design have been published, no recognized standards have been set for assessing Web page quality. Card sorts are a good way to obtain quality attributes and measures from respondents without measurement expertise.

Persistence of Web References in Scientific Research ( Steve Lawrence, David M. Pennock, Gary William Flake, Robert Krovetz, Frans M. Coetzee, Eric Glover, Finn �rup Nielsen, Andries Kruger, C. Lee Giles ; IEEE Computer Magazine 2001-02)

- The lack of persistence of Web references has called into question the increasingly common practice of citing URLs in scientific papers. Although few critical resources have been lost to date, new strategies to manage Internet resources and improved citation practices are necessary to minimize the future loss of information.

Designing User-Centered Web Applications in Web Time ( Molly Hammar Cloyd ; IEEE Software Magazine 2001-01)

- As designers struggle to develop Web applications "in Web time," they are under the added pressure of delivering usability. This author describes her company's successful transformation to user-driven processes for designing e-commerce applications. She also offers strategies for introducing human factors methods into a reluctant development organization.

New Laws and Technologies Morph Web Page Best Practices ( Jim Isaak ; IEEE Computer Magazine 2000-010)

Hypertext: The Next Maintenance Mountain ( Pearl Brereton, David Budgen, Geoff Hamilton ; IEEE Computer Magazine 1998-12)

- Hypertext documents are quickly becoming large, complex, and unwieldy. Can lessons learned from software maintenance be applied to the problem?

Guest Editor's Introduction: Migrating Software to the World Wide Web ( Ellis Horowitz ; IEEE Software Magazine 1998-05)

- We are often faced these days with having to port an existing application to our company's Web-based intranet. This special focus section deals with some of the problems software developers have faced, and how they have solved them, when porting legacy software to the Web.

Designers: The Browser War Casualties ( Barry Phillips ; IEEE Computer Magazine 1998-010)

Is It Too Late to Put the User Back into HTML? ( Ken Magel ; IEEE Computer Magazine 1997-12)

Java and Beyond: Executable Content ( Kankanahalli Srinivas, V. "Juggy" Jagannathan, Y.V. Ramana Reddy, Raghu Karinthi ; IEEE Computer Magazine 1997-06)

- The powerful idea behind dynamic information has received a huge push from the introduction of Java and the spread of the World Wide Web.

Web Publishing: No HTML Expertise Needed ( Ronald J. Vetter ; IEEE Computer Magazine 1997-03)

Web publishing: Speed changes everything ( Steve Hitchcock ; IEEE Computer Magazine 1996-08)

A call for standards for portable Web applications ( Jim Isaak ; IEEE Computer Magazine 1996-06)

WWW: Past, Present, and Future ( Tim Berners-Lee ; IEEE Computer Magazine 1996-010)

- The Web marks the end of frustrating incompatibility between computers. Maintaining the interoperability is a continuous, global task.

Using Paper Prototypes In Home-page Design ( Jakob Nielsen ; IEEE Software Magazine 1995-07)

- My column for May 1995 discussed how we redesigned the Sun home page after observing users interacting with the Web sites of several companies, including our own. One change we made shows the benefits of this type of testing: We discovered early on that users didn�t recognize the �What�s New at Sun� button as a link, and (because it was easy to do) we redesigned the button immediately. Our log data for the two months following the change shows that use of the �What�s New at Sun� button increased by 416 percent � ample proof that even small interface changes can lead to dramatic changes in user behavior! In this issue, the theme of home-page redesign continues with a look at the value of low-fidelity prototyping. � Jakob Nielsen
