Abstract

I want to examine how domain-specific HCI design patterns can be introduced into an existing software development process for industrial test systems. This paper describes the first findings of a contextual inquiry in the domain of test automation systems. Based on these results, I will collect a set of patterns that are relevant to the field. In the future, these patterns will be applied in a real development process. The final aim is to investigate how the patterns can help the developers and product managers to make design decisions for the user interfaces of the developed software.
