Abstract
In practical usability engineering feedback is only useful
if it cost effectively leads to design changes. Several
studies have looked into different feedback formats
when passing on usability problems to software
developers. Research has shown positive results both
when providing developers with redesign proposals,
and when actively involving software developers in the
redesign process. Through facilitation and lecturing in
interaction design provided by usability specialists, we
wanted to further explorer potential advantages of
actively involving developers in a collaborative redesign
process. The leading question was: “Can software
developers contribute actively to alternative redesign
suggestions?” Under the guidance of usability
specialists, we found that the developers were able to
constructively reconsider the existing design based on a
top down approach. In this paper we report a hands-on
approach towards running such a redesign workshop.
