Introduction

Through the discussion and examination of specific cases on the
usability testing of digital products, students are given insight into
professional issues through the trials, “war stories”, practical
experiences, and research findings of practitioners, specialists,
lecturers, and usability researchers. One advantage of using case
studies as a mode of instruction is that it allows computing students
to acquire necessary competences through exposure to contexts and
settings that they might not otherwise experience in educational
settings.

Writing case studies on usability should require the “coming together”
of science, technology and social knowledge in an interdisciplinary
fashion, since the field of usability is supported by a number of
knowledge areas. This book will include new perspectives from top
researchers and practitioners around the world on how and why
usability can support the design and development of digital products,
