3.3 UI design process
When applying UCD, the UI design process consists of four processes: users’ context analysis, along with UI requirements development, prototyping, and evaluation. However, from the preliminary interviews, all four processes may not be clearly defined since they are blended into the UI design process by the design team, but not explicitly specified. An overview of the UI design process is shown in Figure 3. 5 MATEC Web of Conferences 164, 01006 (2018) https://doi.org/10.1051/matecconf/201816401006 ICESTI 2017 Fig. 3. UI design process. 3.3.1 Understanding the users and their tasks During the process of context analysis, the team needs to analyze various aspects involving the users, tasks, and environment. In our case, the team surmised that they were to develop an IS for office use only, so they realized that the system should perform well in an office environment. However, they also took into account that the system should display correctly on any monitor size. The characteristics of the users, such as gender and age, along with individual and cultural experience and knowledge affect user preferences, hence UI design. As a result, UI designers collect and analyze these factors in order to match the users’ characteristics with the UI as closely as possible. Unfortunately, as actually happened with this team, these data were not collected and analyzed clearly because user characteristics were estimated “by sight” during the requirements gathering process. Apparently, this oversight was not planned, but, in this case, the designers thought that the design was self-evident. “We always do the task analysis.” Member B said. Task analysis is the process during which the team attempts to realize the business process or working steps involved in building the system, and the results of this process assist the designer to understand the data flow and structure of the system. Input-output of the system affects the navigation and interaction of the UI, and knowledge of this process can be translated into a diagrammatic view such as use case, data flow diagram, which describes the user interactions with the system and can be included in the system requirements. From the above, both data on the user characteristics and task analysis can be used to create UI requirements. However, the team did not create a specific UI requirements document, but instead use the collected data to design a prototype which was then modified on the basis of the responses of the users in terms of primary need and aesthetics. 3.3.2 Make it clear with a prototype “First impression of a user to the UI prototype will increase involvement, ownership, and satisfaction. As a result, the team can receive feedback on the pros/cons of the system easier 6 MATEC Web of Conferences 164, 01006 (2018) https://doi.org/10.1051/matecconf/201816401006 ICESTI 2017 |
