“…It is recognized that usability methods are often used too late in the development process. Managing the product vision and time boxing the user-centered design work are wellknown continuous challenges [147,162,166]. Overall, one can conclude that the three principles identified in our systematic literature review have been confirmed by recent research in the field.…”

“…However, the prioritization of nonfunctional usability requirements in comparison to functional requirements remains challenging [156,162]. Fast prototyping, individual inquiry, formal tests, and heuristic evaluations are recognized as the most frequent usability practices [147]. Specifically, Low-Fi prototypes and user story maps are suggested as strategic and cost-effective concepts for creating artifacts [169].…”

Agile software design and development methodologies have been gaining rigorous attention in the software engineering research community since their early introduction in the mid-nineties in addition to being highly adopted by the software development industry. In the last 15 years, an excessive number of research studies have been conducted on agile methods, a great number of notable methods have been proposed and various surveys have been presented by many researchers. In this study, the authors intend to conduct a literature survey study of the surveys of the different agile methodologies ranging from January 2000 to December 2015 using an intuitive research methodology called "Compare and Review" (CR). Furthermore, these survey papers were classified into four major categories according to their area of study. Additionally, the newly proposed agile methodologies that have not been addressed yet in any other literature review were reviewed and compared in terms of where the changes that they proposed lay on the SDLC.

“…Systematic review and mapping studies have increased in recognition among scholars in HCI and SW engineering disciplines (Kitchenham & Charters, 2007). Salvador, Nakasone, and Pow-Sang (2014) conducted a systematic review study on usability techniques in agile methodologies. The aim of the study was to synthesize existing studies on usability techniques in agile methodologies and identify what is the scope of the current works on the discourse and what areas require attention for future research.…”

Human Computer Interaction (HCI) practice has emerged as a research domain in the HCI field and is growing. The need to transfer HCI practices to the industry began significantly with the works of Nielsen on usability engineering. To date, methods, and techniques for designing, evaluating and implementing interactive systems for human use have continued to emerge. It is, therefore, justified to conduct a systematic mapping study to determine the landscape of HCI practice research. A Systematic Mapping Study method was used to map 142 studies according to research type, topic, and contribution. These were then analyzed to determine an overview of HCI practice research. The objective was to analyze studies on HCI practice and present prominent issues that characterize the HCI practice research landscape. Secondly, to identify pressing challenges regarding HCI practices in software/systems development companies. The results show that HCI practice research has steadily increased since 2012. The majority of the studies explored focused on evaluation research that largely contributed to evaluation methods or processes. Most of the studies were on design tools and techniques, design methods and contexts, design work and organizational culture, and collaboration and team communication. Interviews, case studies, and survey methods have been prominently used as research methods. HCI techniques are mostly used during the initial phase of development, and during evaluation. HCI practice challenges in companies are mostly process-related and on performance of usability and UX activities. The major challenge seems to be to find a way to collect and incorporate user feedback in a timely manner, especially in agile processes. There are areas identified in this study as needing more research.
