Abstract
An identified key reason for degraded usability in software systems is the deficiencies of current RE practice to incorporate usability perspectives effectively into SRS. The explicit expression of user and usability aspects in SRS benefits designers, developers, and testers in ensuring optimal usability in software products. This paper presents the results of a design-science oriented user interface design study to validate the proposition that incorporating user modelling and usability modelling in SRS improves design.
