Negative UX-Based Approach for Deriving Sustainability Requirements

In this chapter, a Negative User Experience (NUX)-based method for deriving sustainability requirements of persuasive software systems is proposed. The method relies on the analysis of NUX assessment, and the exploitation of relationships between the SQ model and the PSD model, which are well-known models for sustainability-quality in software systems and persuasive system design respectively. To illustrate the method, a user study has been conducted involving people in their real working environments while using specific software intended to change their behavior for preventing or reducing repetitive strain injury (RSI). The method allowed us to discover thirteen requirements that contribute to social, technical and economic sustainability dimensions.
