Abstract

The article is devoted to the issue of relationship between usability and software architecture. Architectural solutions that have influence on overall software usability through concrete properties and attributes are analyzed using the concept of usability patterns. The last one is applied to the earlier developed author’s usability management method considering the usability model based on the latest standards. Conclusion is made that usability improvement in the context of the method of software usability management should be started from the design stage of the software lifecycle. Design solutions which have positive effect on particular usability property are defined
