How is a user interface evaluated?

User Interface Evaluation

User interface design and evaluation is a process that many software creators put off until the very end of their project, often because they fail to realize how important a user interface is to the success of an application.

This process involves a lengthy internal creation and testing program followed by extensive outside testing, both for design flaws and programming bugs. The internal testing should be performed using the design team, who will work with many external potential users and a few internal testers to settle on a basic design. From there, they will bring in outside testers to refine the design, test functionality and find any flaws that may be present in the application.

This testing is extremely important, and should be done parallel to the development of the application code itself. Once the application has been tested and coded, it is sent through a final round of testing before being deployed and used.
