“It is widely recognized that incorrect requirements account for up to 60 percent of errors in software products, and yet the majority of software development organizations do not have a formal requirements process. Many organizations appear willing to spend huge amounts on fixing and altering poorly specified software, but seem unwilling to invest a much smaller amount to get the requirements right in the first place” — Mastering the Requirements Process, Second Edition, By: Suzanne Robertson; James Robertson

Design Pattern Basics
A design pattern is a specific approach to a specific problem. Different software projects may face or may need to solve the same problem. For example: collecting data in a web-page and storing the data in a database is a common problem in web-based enterprise applications. It’s possible to write the solution in different ways. Rather, we can also come up with a specific pattern to solve the problem. The pattern may include the steps that must be followed (enforce fields, don’t allow null values, validate input, validate user rights), may define the different objects required, may provide the interaction among the different objects/components, may define the interfaces. The usefulness of design patterns are that you can come up with the most efficient object designs that will also support the extensibility and scalability of the solution. Also, the pattern may consider reliability and timeliness issues of the solution/problem. Hence, when a design pattern is designed keeping all these issues under consideration, in most cases the solution will be a good/robust one. Besides, the programmers in the team will be on the same pace/level. The novice or the new programmers will not require to reinvent the wheel again wasting much time in between. Refer them to the design pattern and let them do the work accordingly.

• User involvement througout the project may reduce the chance of failure
• DSDM – directly involves users in the development team
• Selecting the right user/person, defining the role of the user, using different individuals rather than a particular person – may increase the chance of success. Some thought is needed to make better use of user involvement.
• Computer Aided Software Engineering (CASE) tools may reduce total duration and increase efficiency.
• CASE can be used in the analysis, design, and automatic code generation
• Principles of Agile approaches: Individuals and Interactions over processes and tools, Working software over comprehensive documentation, Customer collaboration over contract negotiation, Responding to change over following a plan

What are the problems?
End user’s perspective

• Many projects just not get finished
• The system works but it’s dreadful to use
• The system looks pretty but does not do all the work

A client’s perspective

• Many projects (50% approx., Standishgroup, 1994, 2001) exceed the budget
• Many projects are delivered late — may be of no use at the time of completion
• The deployment was a mess, caused some major disaster in operation – the staffs do not trust the system
• Some stakeholders may try to prevent the success of a project for some benefit
• The business, the requirements have changed over the period – a completely new system is required now

A developer’s perspective

• Developers feel they built what was wanted; the clients or the end users still are not happy; the clients/end user’s may have changed their minds in the meantime or they did not understand the developers’ specification; or there were misunderstandings in the beginning about requirements
• Pressure from different sources may limit developers’ ability to produce an excellent system. Pressure: Budget, time limit, see the result
• The developers may be inexperienced with the particular techniques they must use – still they are highly skilled and basically talented
• No documentation, explanation on the existing work. Not well written code – developers may have much difficulty to understand them before able to modify.
• The goals may be impossible to implement. Developers may have warned…but nobody listened..so the project failed.
• Many developers may feel — ‘The system is fine .. the users are the problem’ – without being prepared to examine critically their own preconceptions

Aspects of Poor System Usability

• Poor interface design
• Inappropriate data entry
• Incomprehensible error messages
• Unhelpful help
• Poor response times
• Unreliability in operation

Why things go wrong?
Quality Problems

• The wrong problem is addressed – system conflicts with business strategy
• Wider/Long term/future influences/consequences are ignored
• Incorrect analysis, design, and implementation [method/strategy]
• Project was initiated with wrong reason – going online without analyzing the benefit – just to follow the trend

Productivity Problems

• Users have changed their minds
• External factors like a new legislation have changed the environment
• Implementation infeasible
• Poor project control like having inexperienced project managers

Hidden Costs of Poor Design

• Illogical screen layout: Wasted time, loss of confidence in the system
• Difficult to read screens: increased frustration, increased sickness
• Unhelpful help messages: increased error rate, increased absenteeism, greater staff turnover
• System response is slow:increased operating costs
• Lost data: extra work, reduced income
• Inaccurate outputs: extra work checking outputs, loss of customer confidence, lost sales
