Introduction to Embedding Usability Testing in DevSecOps Incorporating usability testing in DevSecOps ensures that applications are secure, functional, and accessible. Oftentimes, usability testing occurs at the end of the software development cycle, resulting in updates that fix overlooked issues. However, integrating usability testing into the CI/CD workflow ensures that HCD principles...
Introduction to Continuous Feedback Loops Oftentimes, CI/CD environments require rapid iterations that aim to promote efficiency and functionality. However, CI/CD workflows must continue to incorporate HCD through feedback loops during each iteration, specifically so user-centered feedback can be used to refine security and delivery processes. For instance, feedback from users can...
Introduction to Automating HCD HCD emphasizes technologies that align with user needs and preferences. CI/CD workflows often require rapid iteration cycles and constant demand for new features and functions. This makes it challenging for CI/CD workflows to integrate HCD principles into each cycle. However, automating HCD principles can seamlessly integrate HCD...
Introduction to HCD Providing a Seamless Transition with CI/CD CI/CD frameworks often lead to efficient and streamlined development processes, however, HCD ensures that end users are prioritized throughout each process. Furthermore, HCD provides improved usability and user satisfaction, while CI/CD frameworks often prioritize rapid integration and deployment. Therefore, there is often...
Introduction to HCD in Secure Continuous Integration CI/CD methodologies are at the core of modern software development practices. They allow developers to automate the build, test, and deployment processes. This allows for faster and more efficient software delivery. However, balancing secure integration practices and user satisfaction is often difficult. This is...
Introduction to DevSecOps and CI/CD DevSecOps stands for development, security, and operations and essentially represents the integration of security at each stage of the development cycle [1]. DevSecOps importantly addresses security concerns as they emerge, rather than at the end of software deployment when they are harder and more costly to fix...
Introduction to Focusing on Human Sustainability and Ethical Design in Healthcare through HCD In this second topic in our series on sustainability and ethical design through HCD, we focus on the human aspect, specifically focusing on how human capital can be supported so that community outcomes and standards are improved. This...
Introduction to Embracing Social Sustainability and Ethical Design in Healthcare through HCD As healthcare progresses, sustainability and ethical design become more important than ever but are often overlooked. This is where human-centered design (HCD) comes in and provides a focused and empathetic approach to bringing ethical designs and sustainability back into...
Introduction to Emotional Solutions in Healthcare As discussed in our previous articles, BPR provides a transformative approach to streamlining workflows and reducing organizational costs. Furthermore, BPR ultimately results in increased user satisfaction, often due to its ability to take in feedback and optimize workflows and processes. However, there is still a...
Introduction to Business Process Reengineering Business process reengineering (BPR) has become a critical strategy for enhancing efficiency and workflows related to patient care. This is because BPR analyzes and redesigns workflows seamlessly, allowing healthcare companies to decrease costs, improve productivity, and ultimately improve patient and staff satisfaction [1]. Furthermore, BPR integrates...
