User-Centred Engineering: Creating Products for Humans

The book gave good impression already when I browsed through it for the first time. It succeeds to be lightweight and still is comprehensive. It presents all aspects that are important to engineer software that users will like: the key ideas, important techniques, examples from real projects, and recommendations for good practice in the organization. The text is simple to read, yet is deep-enough to guide the reader in how to start applying the approaches it recommends. I liked the many recommendations of how-to-do-it, especially 'designing for reality'. The book will work well for self-studies or in a class-room setting because of its well-understandable language, the many schematic drawings, and the photographs and examples from real projects. In addition I recommend the book to requirements engineers and business analysts because it shows nicely where and how the disciplines overlap. Good job, Michael and Markus. Thank you!

The book gives an overview of user-centred software development methodologies and explains the basics of requirements engineering. It's well written and easy to understand. A must-read for aspiring usability experts and for anyone interested in designing engaging and efficient software.

Nice book
