Personas based support tool for requirements elicitation

Lack of user understanding can bring a damaging effect to software development projects. As we acknowledge, there is a wide variety of users in each software project and consequently there are variation of goals, needs and attitudes within the establishment of users' requirements.So, there are difficulties in organizing and categorizing these information and also, in validating these requirements within a development project. Using personas to capture and analyze users can facilitate user’s understanding.However, identifying personas from large user information is difficult.This research examines the persona technique and proposes a software support tool to help developers in gathering and analyzing requirements by using personas.Likewise, the goals and tasks of each persona are established via actual requirements of the users.The creation and utilization of persona have been investigated via proposed tool aimed to elicit and represent users' requirements in a manageable format. A “Personas based Support Tool for Requirements Elicitation (PSTRE)” facilitates software developers to gather and analyze user requirements.The resulting personas which are suggested by the proposed tool, have to be well understood and well presented to the development team and also provide easy way to extract main functionalities and features of the proposed system

Bibliografía: p. 218-2286El objetivo de esta guía es proporcionar orientaciones para incluir la discapacidad desde un enfoque basado en los derechos humanos (EBDH). Se propone aportar reflexión teórica, evidencia y herramientas para orientar la identificación y diseño de una estrategia de trabajo coherente y poder introducir la discapacidad en los distintos instrumentos de la cooperación, con el objeto de poder avanzar de forma que éstos sean más accesibles e inclusivos de las personas con discapacidad. Se presenta un estudio de la situación de la discapacidad en la política y acciones de la AECID, continuación del diagnóstico realizado en 2012. Se lleva a cabo un análisis de la normativa internacional con atención especial a la Agenda 2030.‎Recursos sobre discapacidad y derechos humanos (p. 208-213) -- Glosario de términos (p. 214-215)

Pre-conference proceedings of the 3rd IFIP TC 13.6 HWID working conference

The committees under IFIP include the Technical Committee TC13 on Human – Computer Interaction within which the work of this volume has been conducted. TC 13 on Human-Computer Interaction has as its aim to encourage theoretical and empirical human science research to promote the design and evaluation of human-oriented ICT. Within TC 13 there are different Working Groups concerned with different aspects of Human-Computer Interaction. The flagship event of TC13 is the bi-annual international conference called INTERACT at which both invited and contributed papers are presented. Contributed papers are rigorously refereed and the rejection rate is high. Publications arising from these TC13 events are published as conference proceedings such as the INTERACT proceedings or as collections of selected and edited papers from working conferences and workshops. See http://www.ifip.org/ for aims and scopes of TC13 and its associated Working Group
