“…For example, it has been found that simple, intuitive and highly visual design supports are more appreciated by designers (McGinley and Dong, 2015), while being interactive is also desirable (Nickpour and Dong, 2015). However, design research has focused too heavily on developing tools and methods, without considering how they fit with the ways in which designers think and work (Mieczakowski et al, 2012). Insufficient attention has been paid to the validity, thoroughness, reliability, effectiveness and the ease of use of these supports, leading to tools and methods that are not being used in industry (Blessing and Chakrabarti, 2009).…”

Insufficient design often causes challenges to users on a cognitive level, hindering them from interacting with products smoothly. There is a lack of effective design tools and supporting materials that can help designers to understand human cognition and how it affects the way that users experience and use products and services. This paper aims to identify current approaches that can be applied to address this issue, and to examine their strengths and weaknesses. This helps to identify future directions for developing and improving cognitive design supports. A literature review was conducted of research publications in the fields of both design and cognition. Four key approaches are identified: cognitive design principles/guidelines, the demand-capability approach, cognitive walkthrough and cognitive modelling. Their strengths and weaknesses are analyzed from a design standpoint. The paper also analyses the underlying causes of the insufficient uptake of cognitive design approaches by designers.

“…This ensures that every user irrespective of their level of intuition, mobility, and cognitive skills can make use of a system with authentication features. This criterion is quantified by computing the addition of users in disability classifications [24]. The users should receive a clear indication of what to do at any level.…”

Abstract-Systems carry sensitive data where users are involved. There is need for security concern for the modern software applications. We can term them as 'untrusted clients'. Internet usage has rapidly grown over the years and, more users are opening their information system to their clientele, it is essential to understand users' data that need protecting and to control system access as well and the rights of users of the system. Because of today's increasingly nomadic lifestyle, where they allow users to connect to information systems from anywhere with all the devices in the market, the users need to carry part of the information system out of the secure infrastructure. Insecurity in user interfaces is caused by user ignoring functionalities in the system where some are not only a threat but can harm the system e.g. leaving network services active even though the user does not need them, or when a user is having little or no information of the available security measures. This research paper aims critically address through a review of existing literature, the importance of balance or trade-off between usability and the security of the system. Systematic review method involved a physical exploration of some conference proceedings and journals to conduct the literature review. Research questions relating to usability and security were asked and the criteria for usability and security evaluations were identified. This systematic literature review is valuable in closing the gap between usability and security in software development process, where usability and security engineering needs to be considered for a better quality end-user software.

“…Other tools are more intended for field research and can provide designers with a better idea about older users' impairment through impairment simulators such as the ones found in the Inclusive Design Toolkit (Waller et al, 2015). Requirements and analytical frameworks have been proposed (Langdon et al, 2010) and have become the basis for the development of a cognitive capabilities analysis tool (Mieczakowski et al, 2013).…”

“…Especially when users like older people are involved (Persad et al, 2007;Cardoso and Clarkson, 2012), it is hard for them to deal with the whole array of information that needs to be read in order to understand the main ergonomic requirements (Mieczakowski et al, 2013;Hitchcock et al, 2001).…”
