Cover Story: Explainable AI (XAI) aims to make black-box models more transparent for humans. Fortunately, plenty of XAI methods have been introduced to tackle the explainability problem from different perspectives. However, due to the vast search space, it is challenging for ML practitioners to start with the development of XAI software and to select the most suitable XAI methods. To address this challenge, XAIR is introduced, which is a systematic meta-review of the most promising XAI methods and tools aligned to the five steps of the software development process, including requirement analysis, design, implementation, evaluation, and deployment. This mapping aims to clarify the steps involved in developing XAI software and to encourage the integration of explainability in AI applications. View this paper
