A systematic review of usability techniques in agile methodologies

Abstract

In this paper, we present the results of a systematic review involving the use of usability techniques in software developments where agile methodologies were used. The search strategy identified 307 studies, where only 32 were finally selected for the review. We found that complementary techniques are the most frequent techniques used with agile methodologies. In addition, most studies performed usability evaluations only during the implementation phase, and these evaluations were mostly constructed as elaborations of case studies.
