User Experience (UX) is the most rapidly developing part of software industry

Successful software must keep pace with rapidly developing front-end technology advancements.

With the rise in the need for more complex solutions that cut across different device types (e.g. responsive design) it is becoming even more important to include members of the development team in design discussions to ensure that agreed solutions are actually feasible and take best advantage of the technology platform and skill-sets available at the time.

Successful User Experience ensures that an end product achieves it's core objectives whilst providing it's users with the most effective, efficient and enjoyable experience as possible.

  • Utility (usefulness)
  • Usability (ease of use)
    • Effective to use
    • Efficient to use
    • Safe to use (e.g. prevention of user errors)
    • Have good utility (e.g. system provision of the right kind of functionality)
    • Easy to learn
    • Easy to remember how to use
  • Appealing (aesthetically attractive and uncluttered)
  • Engaging (enjoyment of use, encouraging an appetite for repeat use)

benefits

  • Avoiding unnecessary product features
  • Simplifying design documentation and customer-centric technical publications
  • Improving the usability of the system and therefore its acceptance by customers
  • Expediting design and development through detailed and properly conceived guidelines
