1. sub-project research software innovation PhD course software innovation fulvio lizano madriz

2. Context of PhD project  Integrating Usability Evaluation into Software Development: Concepts, and Experiences using Remote Usability Testing.  RQ (2 obstacles to apply UE)  How can software developers to use Remote Usability Testing to conduct usability evaluations in an economic way?  How can Remote Usability Testing improve the Software Developers' Mindset about the usability issues in a software system?

3. RQ for sub-project research software innovation  Foundations for RQs:  Agile methods and Usability Evaluation (UE) Could be related with innovation in software?  Agile methodologies: Could implies innovation. But, also some restrictions (roles, protocols, etc.) Could limit UE

4. RQ for sub-project research software innovation  Foundations for RQ:  Usability Evaluation Imply predictability  Limitation of innovation?  Approach suggested: interchanging roles (agile-UE)

5. RQ for sub-project research software innovation  How Remote Usability Testing (RUT) can be integrated in SCRUM, to produce an innovative process of evaluating the usability?  How RUT´s actors can be interchanged with the SCRUM´s actors, to produce an innovative process of evaluating the usability?

6. Software innovation topics cover.  Software Development Techniques for innovation.  Software Development Teams and innovation.

7. Theories involved.  Innovation.  Agile methods (SCRUM).  Usability evaluation (Remote Usability Evaluation – RUT)

8. Data collection and analyze.  Data from SCUM process.  Data from RUT process.  Mappings roles.  Questionnaires/interviews  Other related with innovation.

9. Other considerations  Software:  Postmortem Control of Systems Projects (For System Engineering Department – EI-UNA- CR).  Interactions with research subjects:  members of the SCRUM team (will interchange their roles with RUT roles)

10. Other considerations  Principal contribution:  Explore the application of a specific usability evaluation technique (RUT) in an agile software process as a way to implement innovation in the process

11. Other considerations  Principal contribution:  Possible outline of paper: 1.INTRODUCTION 2.RELATED WORK Innovation in software Agile methods Usability Evaluation 3.METHOD The project Considerations of SCRUM-RUT in the process. Innovations considerations. 4.RESULTS Integration of RUT activities into a software process with SCRUM. Roles of RUT activities into SCRUM approach. 5.DISCUSSION 6.CONCLUSION R eferences
