Traditionally software qualities as e.g. performance have

been considered important to implement early in the

software system architecture. The usability quality

implementation has been done late or, if considered early in

the software architecture, then often as a separation

between presentation and execution layers. However there

are usability concerns requiring early implementation in the

software architecture not solved merely by separation.

Usability supporting architecture patterns (USAPs) have

been shown to provide developers with useful guidance for

producing an architectural design that supports usability for

these concerns, [1]. This experience report introduces the

USAPs in an industrial context.
