Usability Professionals' Association,
Hong Kong

Usability is an important element to the quality of the products produced by Hong Kong's software industry. Quality is one crucial factor in the industry's drive to compete locally as well as internationally.

The earlier Hong Kong embarks on building better usability process within the product development life-cycle, the better our prospects in differentiating our products from the majority
of the competitors who play little attention to it.

Usability is an area that deserves more attention than it has received so far.
