Towards Usable Analysis, Design and Modeling Tools

In this paper, we discuss the issues preventing adoption of analysis, design and modeling (AMD) software development tools. We argue that AMD tools are experiencing the same problems observed with UI tools in the past. We recall those problems and outline the major developments that AMD tools should focus to achieve stronger market acceptance, in particular we argue that such an acceptance will only be possible with a new generation of developer-centric tools that clearly support UI specific activities.
