Abstract The paper discusses the problem of poor quality of graphical user interfaces used for various software products. The provided analysis shows that modern software has poor-quality interfaces, and there are no flexible programs for evaluating such interfaces. The paper highlights and describes the characteristics that are used to assess the quality of interfaces, such as operator speed, error rates, skill retention, and subjective satisfaction. A formalized approach to assess the speed of searching for information and functional objects is proposed. It is based on such characteristics as the time of fixation of the gaze, movement of the eye, the volume of a person’s operative memory, the zone of clear vision, the path of the user’s gaze information search. An algorithm for estimating the speed of searching for information and functional elements is proposed. This algorithm can be implemented and used for further design of a software application based on it. The algorithm makes it possible to automatically evaluate both a particular interface and to compare the interfaces of different programs.

The development of e-learning, both in distance and mixed forms, becomes especially relevant in the modern educational process. A high-quality e-learning course is developed through the efforts of two parties: the teacher, who creates the methodological content, and the programmer, who creates the electronic shell of the course. The article substantiates the importance of quality issues in the development of a user interface for electronic educational resources, since the user of an electronic course deals with the direct implementation of educational material. The indicators for assessing the quality of software products in accordance with international and Russian standards and their applicability for assessing user interfaces of electronic educational resources are analyzed. The conclusion is made about the importance of the indicator “practicality” in relation to this type of software product as an indicator of an individual evaluation of the use of a product by a certain user or circle of users. The classical methods for assessing the quality of the human-machine interaction interface and the applicability of experimental and formal methods for assessing quality are considered. The analysis of modern approaches to the design of user interfaces based on UX/UI design is given. An assessment of the requirements and criteria for assessing the user interface from the standpoint of modern design is given. The tasks and features of the UX and UI components of the design process are analyzed. The essence of the modern term “usability” as an indicator of the interface evaluation is explained, and the qualitative evaluation criteria for this indicator are considered. The concept of UX testing is given, the main stages of this process are considered. The importance of taking into account the subjective psychological factors of interface perception is substantiated. The indicators for assessing the quality of user interfaces, based on the cognitive factors of its perception by a person, are analyzed.

Although the law of infringement is relatively straightforward on the copying of literal and textual elements of software, the copying of non-literal and functional elements poses complex and topical questions in the context of intellectual property protection. In most cases, such elements contain the real value of a software product. This book examines the copying of non-literal and functional elements of software in both the United States and the European Union, using a holistic approach to address the most topical questions facing experts concerned with legal protection of software products across a range of technological platforms. The book focuses on five distinct but interrelated areas: contract, copyright, patent, trade-mark and trade-dress laws, and trade secrets. It also considers the protection of designs, in the context of graphical user interfaces. The book looks at software as a multilayered functional product, setting the scene for other legal discussions by highlighting software’s unique characteristics. It analyses models for the provision of software, addressing licensing patterns and overall enforceability, as well as the statutory and judicial tools for regulating the use of such licences. Further, it explores the protection of non-literal and functional software elements under EU and US copyright law, with emphasis on internal architecture and behavioural elements. Finally, it describes the application of trade-dress protection to software’s ‘look and feel’, particularly relevant to the provision of software in the cloud environment.

And Task

Nearly all software products have rigid and predefined interfaces. Users are usually unable to modify or customize features beyond cosmetic aspects. Interface adaptability is important because aspects such as user preferences and task sequences vary widely in engineering, even within specialized domains. A methodology for the creation of adaptable user interfaces using model composition is presented in this paper. User interfaces are generated dynamically through the composition of model fragments that are stored in a fragment library. When fragments are linked to models of physical behavior, interface model composition applications are likely to be easier to extend and maintain than traditional graphical user interfaces. A prototype system within the domain of bridge diagnosis illustrates the potential for practical applications.

The Subject

The application of empirical models and Halsted metrics to evaluate software quality is considered. The subject of the study are methods of measuring the reliability of software and its calculation model. The purpose of the work is to perform a promising direction for further research of analytical and empirical models of software reliability. The object of the study is the process of evaluating the quality of the soft-ware, which requires a large number of tasks. This leads to a variety of approaches, methods and tools. Objectives: to carry out comparative analysis of analytical and empirical models of software reliability and quality; describe models and methods for benchmarking these software reliability models; to test and evaluate the effective-ness of the models and methods used for the comparative analysis of the analytical and empirical models of the software's reliability. The methods used are software developed that, using Halsted metrics and static code analyzer methods, allows you to evaluate the complexity and quality of software products. This makes it possible to comprehensively consider all aspects related to analytical and empirical models. As a result, software has been developed that, using Halsted metrics and static code analyzer methods, makes it possible to evaluate the complexity and quality of software products. The software performs the following functions: graphing various parameters; outputting information from graphs to text view (with values obtained during the experiment). The lexical analyzer builds graphs that display the following information about the modules analyzed: commenting; accurate and approximate quality level; real and theoretical length; informative; spent intellectual effort. Conclusions. The relevance of comparative analysis of analytical and empirical models of software reliability is determined by the fact that most software is unreliable. The scientific novelty of the obtained results is as follows: by means of comparative analysis of analytical and empirical models of reliability of software functioning, to study in detail the mod-els of reliability and to increase the reliability of software.

Up to now, organizational buying is still interesting topic discussed. There are divergences among the findings in organizational buying researches. Different perspectives, fenomena observed, research domains and methods caused the divergences. This paper will discusse organizational buying behavior based on literature review, focused on behavior of decision making unit mainly on equipment buying. From this review literatures, it would be theoritical foundation that is valid and reliable to develop propositions in organizational buying behavior. Based on review literature refferences, variables are classified into: purchase situation, member of decision making unit perception, conflict among the members, information search, influences among members of decision making unit. Integrated approach is used to develop propositions relating to: purchasing complexity, sharing responsibility among the members, conflict in decision making unit, information search, time pressure as moderating variable between sharing responsibility and conflict in decision making unit, the influence among the members inside decision making unit and decision making outcome
