The fundamental question of software engineering (SWE) is how to provide
software that actually meets the end user needs. The economical problem is
there after how to produce the SW that meets the set quality level in
predefined time and budget. Interaction Design and Sari A. Laakso’s
GUIDe are visionary methodologies for user interface design where the
primary emphasis is focused on finding the user’s real goals and optimising
the design to meet these goals with minimum cognitive and physical effort.
Kent Beck’s Extreme Programming (XP) is first of the new wave of
lightweight SWE methodologies introducing a set of old, proven practices in
a new and balanced way. There exists a fundamental difference between
these two approaches; GUIDe emphasizes research and planning, while XP
adapts to changing customer requirements flexibly. The GUIDe states that
users can’t usually argument their true needs, thus there exists a chance to
extend XP further by introducing GUIDe to the planning level and keeping
the current practical SWE practices. Combining these two…
