ISO 13407 Human centred design processes for interactive systems (eng)


ISO 13407 provides guidance on achieving quality in use by incorporating user centred design activities throughout the life cycle of interactive computer-based systems. It describes user centred design as a multi-disciplinary activity, which incorporates human factors and ergonomics knowledge and techniques with the objective of enhancing effectiveness and productivity, improving human working conditions, and counteracting the possible adverse effects of use on human health, safety and performance.

There are four user centred design activities that need to start at the earliest stages of a project. These are to:

  • understand and specify the context of use
  • specify the user and organisational requirements
  • produce design solutions
  • evaluate designs against requirements.

The iterative nature of these activities is illustrated in Figure 1. The process involves iterating until the objectives are satisfied.

The sequence in which these are performed and the level of effort and detail that is appropriate varies depending on the design environment and the stage of the design process.

ISO TR 18529: Human-centred lifecycle process descriptions

The EC INUSE project developed a structured and formalised definition of the human-centred processes described in ISO 13407. An improved version has subsequently been published as ISO TR 18529. It is intended to make the contents of ISO 13407 accessible to software processes assessment and improvement specialists and to those familiar with or involved in process modeling. It can be used in the specification, assessment and improvement of the human-centred processes in system development and operation.


The Usability Maturity Model in ISO TR 18529 consists of seven sets of base practices (Table 1). These base practices describe what has to be done in order to represent and include the users of a system during the lifecycle. The model uses the format common to process assessment models. These models describe the processes that ought to be performed by an organisation to achieve defined technical goals. The processes in this model are described in the format defined in ISO 15504 Software process assessment. Although the primary use of a process assessment model is for the measurement of how well an organisation carries out the processes covered by the model, such models can also be used as a description of what is required in order to design and develop effective organisational and project processes.
