A model integrating the processes of user interface development and software development

Before software engineers can integrate the separate processes of user interface development and mainstream software development, they must investigate candidate methologies that let developers apply different development strategies to different parts of an interactive system. Disciplined long-term investigation requires that the fundamental principles governing each process be fixed and that evolving development methods comprising each process be accommodated. The author proposes a computer-based process model that fixes the principles and accommodates evolving methods. An argument for its feasibility and worthiness for further study is presented.<
