Developing a good application - part2

Every projet has its analysis phase which is crucial for its success. All the various possiblities has to analysed in this phase. From my experience i have put in few steps for designing a good usable software
1. Find out some real time users:
To kick start the project first find out real time users. They are the guys who is going to experience your product.
2. Figure out all the important activities:
Once you are done with the earlier step, figure out all the activities that needs to be performed in this analysis phase.
3. Figure out user model:
Collect all the services they expect from your product, from the user. An user model can simply be described as "The expectation for the software".
4. Sketch the first draft of the design:
Once you examine the user model, just create a rough draft of your product.
5. Iterate your design:
Do iterations of your design based on the user model. Create a design that would fit the user model.

Once you are done with the above steps you can start your program model i.e the way you program the software.

Test with real time users:
After the application is created, make the real time users test your application. Note the area where the users find it tough to use your system. Users will face a problem when they find program model not equal to user model
