Topic 3: Analysis of a mobile application project What is usability? What do we need to know to create a usable application? The users The task The context So…..Before we can talk about analysis we need to talk about usability. Software design is the act of determining the user’s experience with a piece of software. It has nothing to do with how the code works inside, or how big or small the code is. The designer's task is to specify completely and unambiguously the user’s whole experience(David Liddle)---  analysis.
