(28 cards)
What comes under functional designing?
Use case diagram
Class Diagram
Sequence Diagram
What are identified by use case diagrams in functional designing?
A high-level overview
What are identified by class diagrams in functional designing?
Key classes and relationships
What are covered from the sequence diagrams in functional designing?
Important use cases
What comes under interaction design?
Design concepts → High level
Storyboards → detailed UI design
Wireframes
What are expected from a system?
- Be easy to use
- do useful things
- enhance the lives of the people that use them
So: Design for people, not for technology
What should be the aim of design?
Is to create good user experiences
What is UCD?
User Centered Design → the user is put in the center of design
What are the factors that we consider in UCD?
- Information Architecture
- Design Concepts
- Effectiveness
- Usability
- Interaction design
- Information Architecture
- Elegance
- User Research
- Visual Design
- Cognitive Psycology
- Efficiency
- Interface Design
- Accessibility
- Satisfaction
- Human-computer interface
Why we use UCD/UX?
- Increased customer saisfaction
- Increased user producrtivity
- Increased service and adoptions
- Decreased support and training cost
- Reduced development time and cost
- Reduced maintenance cost
How can we reduce development time and cost?
By creating only the features users need
How can we reduce maintenance cost?
By doing it right the first time
What are the tools and methods used in UCD/UX?
- personas
- scenarios
- storyboards
- wireframes
- prototypes
What comes under analysis out of those?
- personas
- scenarios
- storyboards
- wireframes
- prototypes
- personas
- scenarios
- storyboards
- wireframes
What is the use of analysis?
to explain the requirements
What comes under design out of those?
- personas
- scenarios
- storyboards
- wireframes
- prototypes
- wireframes
- prototypes
What is the use of design?
to focus on design
What is the use of the persona?
used to understand the background of the user
details - persona, photo, name, job, demographics, goals and tasks, environment, quote
So far when analyzing the problem what did we focused on?
Who are the users
What do they want to do and why
How is the design emerges?
iteratively through repeated design-evaluation-redesign cycles
What is a storyboard?
it narrates a situation showing how it plays out in the context of actual tasks
a series of frames from the user experience point of view
What are the characteristics of a storyboard?
- Communicate the feel of the ‘flow’ of the design
- Usually based on scenarios
- Generally a combination of text and images
What is the range of wireframes?
back-of-an-envelop-sketch to a full design
What is the use of wireframes?
provides an early approximation
shows how the user will interact with the system
