One reason for this is that the benefits of better usability are not visible for the management. In this paper the author analyses the characteristics of some published usability cost-benefit models. These models have different approach for identifying, approaching and categorizing the benefits of. All of the analysed models approach the usability benefits through a cost benefit estimation of user centred design, but none of the models document every of the three steps of cost-benefit analysis method. The author argues that none of the analysed models document the usability cost-benefit analysis method fully. The author also argues that none of the models identify the business type of development organization and developed product as a variable to be taken into account when analysing the benefits of better usability.
