3) Problem solving: review
IS specifications must be understood and reviewed by stakeholders, e.g.
- summary reports for managers
- less formal descriptions of the selected domain for end-users
- and formal specifications for programmers.
Can validation of IS models be supported?
Does the method correspond to users’ natural concepts?
- developers’ cognitive needs related to design tasks vs. users’ existing concepts and patterns of thought.
The analysis of review support typically leads to:
- extending the method with different notational constructs
- simplifying the method for different use situations.
