Abstract

This paper presents the definition of a software development process (SDP) that integrates practices from Software Engineering (SE) and Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) with three main goals. First, we intend to help professionals from both areas in developing interactive systems with usability. Second, we want to make HCI an essential part of SE processes by facilitating the communication between professionals from these two areas, thus, bringing productivity to a new working environment. Third, we aim at describing the basis for generating User Interfaces (UI) through the integration of HCI concepts in the process, rather than on depending only on UI designers' experience.
