User analysis 4. User interface prototyping 5. Interface evaluation 3 User interface £ User interfaces should be designed to match the skills, experience and expectations of its anticipated users. £ System users often judge a system by its interface rather than its functionality. £ A poorly designed interface p Can cause a user to make catastrophic errors. p Is the reason why so many software systems are never used. 4 Human factors in interface design £ Limited short-term memory p People can instantaneously remember about 7 items of information. If you present more than this, they are more liable to make mistakes. £ People make mistakes p When people make mistakes and systems go wrong, inappropriate alarms and messages can increase stress and hence the likelihood of more mistakes. £ People are different p People have a wide range of physical capabilities. Designers should not just design for their own capabilities. £ People have different interaction preferences p Some like pictures, some like text. 5 UI design principles £ UI design must take account of the needs, experience and capabilities of the system users. £ Designers should p be aware of peoples physical and mental limitations (. limited short-term memory) and p should recognise that .
