Most software developers want people to find their products effective, efficient and satisfying to use. "Ease of use" is a primary objective. However, with other demands on developers' time, how do you ensure that usability issues are given enough attention?

The answer is the Usability Assessment Service from Springwater Software. Our service provides a cost-effective way of identifying realistic and achievable improvements in Usability.

Our consultants carry out a thorough analysis of your software application comparing it against a specific and tailored definition of usability. The aim of this service is to provide a driving force for improvements to the quality of a software product. In this way software can be developed which more closely matches the requirements of those that will use it.

All software development projects will include some kind of usability assessment. Most commonly this is done in an informal way by the developers and users. A more focused and systematic approach will help you identify more specific design issues and can also highlight the potential problems at an earlier stage. With the resulting knowledge of the strengths and weaknesses of the usability of your application and a clear plan for carrying out improvements, the return on your initial investment can be considerable.

Our consultants have substantial experience of software design, development and support, together with specialist knowledge of usability issues.
