· To your own personal view, which application
system has the best user centered design and why do you say so?
First let us see what is meant by User-Centered
Design. It is the process of designing a
tool, such as a website’s or application’s user interface, from the perspective
of how it will be understood and used by a human user. Rather than requiring
users to adapt their attitudes and behaviors in order to learn and use a
system, a system can be designed to support its intended users’ existing
beliefs, attitudes, and behaviors as they relate to the tasks that the system
is being designed to support. The result of employing UCD to a system design is
a product that offers a more efficient, satisfying, and user-friendly
experience for the user, which is likely to increase sales and customer
loyalty.
So according to my personal view, I think
facebook application is one of the best examples for a good usage of user
centered designed. This is because FB is so user friendly and full fills almost
all human needs. It is a very easy application that illustrates every step very
clearly which makes the user very easy to follow.. Uploading photos, videos and
various files, the simple and fun ways of communicating with one another, the
entertainment that it provides to the user with high security system are some
of the reasons why I agree that facebook is one of the best applications that
has been used with quality user centered designing.

researchers have come up with various models and matrices relating these two
concepts. It is very important quality attribute of software system. The
success and failure of system in economic manner depends on the software
usability, which is directly related to software design.
· Why there is a need for user centered design in
software or web application?
User-centered design aims at creating a
product that suits specific user needs and creates a pleasant user experience.
User-centered design is becoming increasingly important in web development.
Around the turn of the millennium, web products were often developed with
little or no consideration of the user. Today, when the usability of a user
interface determines its success, user-centered design is a common approach to
web development.
