UCD Approach

User-Centered Design (UCD) is a design philosophy and a process in which the needs, wants, and limitations of end-users

are given extensive attention at each stage of the design process.

User-centered design can be characterized as a multi-stage problem solving process that not only requires designers to

analyze and foresee how users are likely to use a tool, but also to test the validity of their assumptions with regards to user

behaviour in real world tests with actual users.

1. Understand User activity and environment

2. Measure Usability

3. Interactive design

4. Market implementation
