Development Cycle

Although the use of a prototype of the user interface of a software application early in the development cycle is a valuable tool in the design of a usable user interface, prototyping can be difficult to introduce into the development process. Furthermore, designers without experience in using a prototype can run into problems which counteract the value of this user interface design methodology. Designers with experience in a substantial prototyping effort have formulated guidelines for the use of prototyping which can help to minimize these problems.

Ui Design

The success of any software application heavily depends on the success of its User Interface (UI) design. This is since users communicate with those applications through their UIs and they will build good or bad impressions based on how such UIs help them using the software. UI design evolves through the years to be more platform and even code independent. In addition, the design of an application user interface consumes a significant amount of time and resources. It is expected that not only the same UI design should be relatively easy to transfer from one platform to another, but even from one programming language release to another or even from one programming language to another. In this chapter, we conducted a thorough investigation to describe how UI design evolved through the years to be independent from the code, or any other environment element (e.g. operating system, browser, database, etc.).

User Friendly

There are many customers who shop online. Many of these users interact with the system using well-defined user interfaces only. So, there is a need to develop effective user interfaces that are more user friendly, minimize the keyboard operations, and maximize effective interaction with the system. This chapter focuses on designing effective user interfaces by considering human parameters for e-commerce applications.

Conventional wisdom inside human factors circles says that the integration of user interface design processes into the software development cycle is the best way to improve the usability of software products. While there is no problem convincing human factors practitioners of this, frequently there is still a need to demonstrate the effectiveness of user interface processes to product development teams and management. Mayhew (1992) suggests that it is not enough to be able to apply human factors knowledge. Successful user interface design must include buy-in from outside of the user interface organization. To demonstrate the effectiveness of a user interface design program, data from usability tests on three versions of a product were analyzed. The oldest version of the product was developed without the inclusion of any user interface design processes. The second version of the product had minimal involvement of user interface practitioners late in the development cycle. The newest version of the product was developed with the user interface design processes fully integrated into the software development cycle. The data indicate that user interface design processes do impact usability, as measured by speed, accuracy, and subjective measures. Furthermore, user interface processes which are part of the software development cycle, as opposed to just a side effort by user interface practitioners, seem to have a much greater impact on usability.
