Software development by design puts usability first

We sum up the most important steps for developing user-friendly, usability-oriented software stacks

_Zug, Switzerland, 30 January, 2023_ – For users, the intuitive use of software is just as important and desirable as for companies – albeit for different motives. VNC describes the most important steps for developing user-friendly, usability-oriented software stacks.

The development of enterprise software is a complex business. Megatrends such as containerization, modularization or fluidity must be cast in a homogeneous, secure and intuitively usable software stack. In addition, there are technical requirements such as operating system and platform agnosticism or the adaptation to usability trends such as gamification and social media. They all need to be considered right from the beginning of the application design process. VNC, leading developer of open source-based enterprise applications, explains the most important steps for implementation.

  • **Feature definition and mock-up:** In a modularized software stack, the first step is to define the features of the applications and coordinate them with each other. On this basis, software prototypes (mock-ups) are then created with high-precision positioning of the various control elements (pixel precise). This allows to test the usability of the software in practice.

"The usability requirements for software stacks and modules are subject to a rapid process of change," emphasizes Andrea Wörrlein, Managing Director of VNC in Berlin and member of the Board of VNC AG in Zug. "With traditional tools and processes, they can be implemented neither quickly nor efficiently enough. The principle of software by design puts the users, their wishes and their experiences at the center of software development with the goal of making the use of apps and modules as simple, efficient and enjoyable as possible."
