Best Practices for Improving User Interface Design

Abstract

A rich and effective computational system must have a friendly user interface with appealing usability features that provides excellent user experience. In order to develop interactive systems with the best user experience, an innovative iterative approach to user interface engineering is required because it is one of the most challenging areas given the diversity of knowledge, ideas, skills and creativity needed for building smart interfaces in order to succeed in today's rapidly paced and tough, competitive marketplace. Many modeling aspects including analytical, intuitive, artistic, technical, graphical, mathematical, psychological and programming models need to be considered in the development process of an effective user interface. This research examines some of the past practices and recommends a set of guidelines for designing effective user interfaces. It also demonstrates how UML use case diagrams can be enhanced by relating user interface elements to use cases. KEYWORDSDesign principles, Unified Modeling Language (UML), use case diagram, user experience.

Prototype Design User Interface Sistem Preloved Menggunakan Metode Lean Ux

“…User interface cara interaksi antara program dan pengguna [5]. Desain user interface merupakan bagian yang cukup menantang dalam rekayasa perangkat lunak [6], hal ini karena untuk menciptakan user interface yang baik harus dapat digunakan agar mudah dipahami dan diterima oleh pengguna, oleh karena itu metode Lean UX harus digunakan dalam perancangan. Lean UX digunakan untuk merancang antarmuka pengguna, baik antarmuka aplikasi maupun antarmuka pengguna web.…”

Peningkatan Efektfitas User Interface (Ui) Dan User Experience (Ux) Melalui Pendekatan User Centered Design Pada Website E – Library BPSDMP Kominfo Surabaya

“…Tentu saja hal ini berlawanan dengan konsep Ease of Use dalam pengembangan aplikasi. Seperti yang diketahui bahwa user interface merupakan komponen yang paling utama karena bertugas menghubungkan pengguna dengan informasi yang dibutuhkan oleh user dan sistem itu sendiri [9] [10].…”

“SAVE” – An Integrated Approach of Personal and Home Safety for Active Assisted Living

“…• Consistency of information: navigation bars, labelling or any interface components should be used to communicate exactly where the users are in the application -elderly users are easier to recognize information than to recall memory [15]; • Rapid and distinct Feedback: feedback of every action should be provided within a certain time and it should indicate result or response of each action -due to limitation of short-term memory of older adults; • On screen help: on screen help within operation page should be used -older people have anxiety of using new products; • User support: reduce usage of error messages to become as low as possible; in case that error messages have to be shown, error messages should be simple, precise, polite and understandable -elderly users are sensitive to errors from their actions. Interface optimization (according to the limitation of motor skills and cognitive abilities of the elderly people):…”
