Info

Besides the criteria stated in the interview, professionals were asked to state their own requirements from a software package. The answers were examined critically and classified as software features and software quality attributes as mentioned in the questionnaire analyses. Initially, the analyses of needs in software features are presented in Table 3.26. Compared to the students, with professionals there is a surprising decrease in the requirements for ‘drawing’ features. Although students required specific and extensive architectural and landscape libraries, these features do not exist in the answers of professionals. However, the requirements for ‘rendering’ features are as popular with the students. Table 3.26 Professionals’ needs in software features Features User Needs Drawing Features Provide an extensive Furniture Library Provide 3D Modeling Features and Tools Transformation Features View Features Rendering Features Other Features Provide extensive 3D Geometrical Transformations Provide Transition between 2D and 3D Provide Photorealistic View Provide Cameras with Video and Animation Features Provide different 3D Views and Perspectives Provide an extensive Material, Texture and Color Library Provide Photorealistic Materials Provide Material Editing Features Provide various Lighting Elements Provide extensive Lighting Features Provide Global Rendering (Photorealistic Lighting and Rendering) Provide extensive Rendering Features Provide Layering Feature Provide Cost Estimation Features 95
The quality attributes derived from the results of the analysis of professionals’ needs are revealed in Table 3.27. Here, ‘ease of use’ appears less and issues related to ‘reliability’ seem to disappear compared to students’ results. The issues related to ’efficiency’, ‘flexibility’ are stated similar to the quality attributes of the questionnaire analyses. Table 3.27 Professionals’ needs in terms software quality attributes Quality Attributes User Needs Ease of Use Efficiency Flexibility Other Attributes Provide easy 3D Object Modeling Provide easy Interoperability between 2D and 3D Provide easy 3D Object Transformation Provide easy Material Editing and Attaching Provide easy Software Use (Commands) Provide easy Interface Use and Perception Provide easy Software Learning Provide a shorter Processing Time (Quality in Result) Provide a shorter Rendering Time Provide Flexibility in creating New Objects (instead of object library) Provide Flexibility in allowing users to Draw Every Shape (especially in Furniture Details) Provide Flexibility of Software Provide Interoperability between different Software Packages Percentage distribution of these software features and quality attributes represents that ‘ease of use’ again is the most important feature among professionals, as in the case of students (Figure 3.45). However, the percentage distribution of ‘rendering’ with 17%, ‘efficiency’ with 14%, ‘view’ and ‘flexibility’ with 14% are close to ‘ease of use’. Figure 3.46 gives detailed knowledge about software features and quality attributes. 96
