Abstract

This paper reports results of a recent survey of 184 Information Technology (IT) development practitioners and 90 User Interface (UI)/usability practitioners. This survey covered a broad range of issues including the respondents' profile, current development environment, usability and user-centered design (UCD) adoption issues in IT development practice, overall assessment of usability/UCD, and the most widely used usability/UCD methods and techniques. The results of this study are expected to provide an empirical basis for usability and UCD planning, training, adoption and execution in IT industry.
