Finally <strong>the</strong>re exist, some quality attributes that are not categorized under <strong>the</strong><br />

attributes already mentioned. These attributes emphasize:<br />

• The need <strong>of</strong> ‘interoperability’ between different s<strong>of</strong>tware packages,<br />

• The ‘collaboration’ <strong>of</strong> users during project design,<br />

• The attractiveness <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> s<strong>of</strong>tware,<br />

• The resemblance to hand drawing (see Table 4.10).<br />

The proposed model emphasizes <strong>the</strong> significant features and quality attributes in<br />

order to develop an <strong>interior</strong> domain specific s<strong>of</strong>tware package. The significant<br />

features are determined by <strong>the</strong> <strong>analysis</strong> <strong>of</strong> general purpose and domain specific<br />

s<strong>of</strong>tware, and by <strong>the</strong> <strong>analysis</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> user needs from <strong>the</strong> questionnaires and <strong>the</strong><br />

interviews. This model highlights several points about ‘drawing’, ‘transformation’,<br />

’view’, ’rendering’ and ‘o<strong>the</strong>r’ features while arousing new discussions about its<br />

‘ease <strong>of</strong> use’, ‘efficiency’, ‘reliability’, ‘flexibility’ and ‘o<strong>the</strong>r’ quality attributes.<br />
