Different development approaches had been introduced but only a few are still functioning in the software industry. Agile software development is one approach, which is currently successful in software industry. For the development of interactive and usable software, this agile approach needs to integrate with usability approaches. But this integration is not clear as both agile and usability follows iterative approach of development while agile approach is more toward on writing code and development of a running system; whereas, usability focused on the user interface to make the software more usable and increase its usability by following UCD process. This paper provides an extensive related work on the integration of agile methods with usability that highlights critical issues in agile methods and shows the importance of usability in agile methods. In the end, the proposed model is discussed to handle tradeoff between usability and agile methods under one model. © 2014 IEEE. date: 2014 publisher: Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc. official_url: https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-84938796022&doi=10.1109%2fICCOINS.2014.6868450&partnerID=40&md5=69b499ccba4a0b8112ef48c9664ec569 id_number: 10.1109/ICCOINS.2014.6868450 full_text_status: none publication: 2014 International Conference on Computer and Information Sciences, ICCOINS 2014 - A Conference of World Engineering, Science and Technology Congress, ESTCON 2014 - Proceedings refereed: TRUE isbn: 9781479943913 citation: Butt, S.M. and Ahmad, W.F.W. and Rahim, L.
