Q

Describe 3 variations of the Waterfall method for handling the evolutionary nature of user interface design.

A
  • Modified Waterfall Method: User feedback is incorporated into each phase of the process.
  • Agile Waterfall Method: Separates the development process into smaller, iterative cycles known as sprints, Each sprint focuses on delivering a functional and tested portion of the user interface design, which is then reviewed and refined in the subsequent sprints.
  • Spiral Model: involves prototyping, testing, and gathering feedback before moving on to the next stage.

Q

What is meant by the user-experience? Include examples.

A
  • The overall experience that a user has when interacting with a product or service. A positive user experience can lead to increased user engagement, customer loyalty, and business success.

Some examples:

Q

What is a user-interface and what is its primary purpose?

A
  • UI is the point of interaction between a user and a digital system or device.
  • The primary purpose is to provide an intuitive and easy-to-use experience for the user.

Q
  1. What is the purpose of each iteration of the prototype loop?
A
  • Design: To create a prototype of the user interface.
  • Test: Gather feedback from users and identify potential usability issues.
  • Analyse: To Analyse the feedback and use this information to inform the next iteration design.
  • Refine: To refine the prototype based on the feedback and data gathered during the test and analyse phrases.

Q
  1. Compare low fidelity to high fidelity.
A
  • Fidelity: This is the main difference, which takes into consideration the level of detail & realism.
  • Purpose: Low fidelity prototypes are often used in early design process to explore and test different ideas quickly and inexpensively.
  • Cost : Low fidelity < High fidelity
  • Realism
