Abstract
This paper presents some guidelines to help software designers to design architectures that support particular usability features. We focus on features with high impact on software functionality and therefore on software design, like Feedback or Undo/Cancel. We have adopted an empirical approach to propose some design recommendations to be used to build the above usability features into specific architectures.
