- Abstract
The article presents a case study for developing scientific software. Central to the Usable Image (UI) project is the goal of incorporating both usability and user-centered design (UCD) into the development process. The authors chose for their development environment Omero, an open source client-server system. They discuss how they incorporated usability and UCD into Omero with the aid of information gleaned from focus groups, user surveys, and testing sessions, as well as from existing software interfaces and ethnographic fieldwork.
