Why a systematic process is necessary for developing usable systems for specific users in a specific context?

Expert Solution

Human-computer interaction (HCI) is a multidisciplinary field of study focusing on the design of computer technology and, in particular, the interaction between humans (the users) and computers. While initially concerned with computers, HCI has since expanded to cover almost all forms of information technology design.

Usability is a quality attribute that assesses how easy user interfaces are to use. The word "usability" also refers to methods for improving ease-of-use during the design process.

Synonyms for "user-friendly" in old applications such as Microsoft Word were: easy to use; accessible; comprehensible; intelligible; idiot proof; available and ready.
But a "friend" also seeks to help and be valuable. A friend is not only understandable, but understands. A friend is reliable and doesn't hurt. A friend is pleasant to be with
These methods are very subjective and vague. So a systematic process is necessary to develop usable systems for specific users in a specific context.
