February 19, 2010, Newsletter Issue #223: User Interface Design

Tip of the Week

A user interface is one of the most difficult portions of a program to design. It starts by creating a list of requirements for the interface by interviewing potential users to find out what their needs are. After this is done, the next step is to take the list of requirements for the interface and draw mock-up designs either on paper or sketching them on a computer. These designs are then tested on possible users of the product, who help narrow down designs that work or flow well.

From this point, the design is refined by the developer with the occasional help of the potential users and tested several more times before it is coded into a program. After the coding is done, the final product is extensively tested on users to ensure that all required functionality is available, as well as to flush out any bugs or problems in the implementation of the user interface. This complicated process of user interface design is essential to creating an interface that is easy and intuitive for users to operate.
