An Analysis of UI/UX Designing With Software Prototyping Tools

Abstract

In an age where everyone is carrying a smart phone, it is of utmost importance to make efficient use of the upcoming technologies. This indicates the rise in number of applications being created for mobile devices. As a result, mobile user interface designing has become a significant part of application designing. There has been an increasing number of devices today providing powerful graphics capabilities helping users to deal with huge amount of information. However, the prototyping tools currently being used in the industry are lacking features and are not addressing some of the prime issues like user friendliness, functionalities, representation, and enforcement. This chapter presents a tool based on an analysis of different popular prototyping tools in the industry which will overcome some or all of the major issues faced by application designers. The authors describe the prototyping tool's concept, design, features, as well as how it is suitable for making great user interfaces helping application designers to design exactly what they want.

The EDIT UX Framework: A User-Centered Approach to Effective Product Redesign

“…Choosing the right prototyping tools is vital, impacting the efficiency of prototype development and the effectiveness of user testing. Tools must cater to various fidelity levels, support comprehensive user testing, and comply with accessibility standards, ensuring the design is inclusive and accessible to all user groups (Gupta, 2020;Silva et al, 2015). Accessibility considerations are embedded throughout the prototyping phase, with each iteration evaluated against WCAG standards to uphold the framework's commitment to inclusivity (Andrade et al, 2018;Bi et al, 2022;Schmutz et al, 2016).…”
