Concept to Reality: An Integrated Approach to Testing Software User Interfaces

Abstract

This paper delves into the complex task of evaluating a website user interface (UI) and user experience (UX), a process complicated by gaps in research. To bridge this, we introduced an innovative human–computer interaction (HCI) framework that synergizes expert cognitive walkthroughs and user surveys for a comprehensive view. We transformed user responses into three key domains—control, engagement, and goal. Our work also generalized an extract of four context-level data metrics for a robust evaluation. The numerical evidence, such as a C1 score of 4.1, surpassing the expert usability benchmark, indicated our framework’s effectiveness. Our research not only addresses an essential gap by integrating assessments from both users and experts, but also offers actionable insights for UI/UX design. The findings extend beyond this specific context, providing a potent evaluation tool for website usability across various websites. Lastly, the research underscores the importance of prioritizing users’ needs and expert recommendations in design principles, significantly contributing to the broader domain of website usability and user experience.

“…The observed differences between them are relatively inconsequential, indicating an absence of significant overfitting in the model. The model exhibits an excellent ability to generalize to new instances [49], as shown by the consistently high validation accuracy. The validation accuracy [50] slightly decreases compared to the corresponding training accuracy values, which is typical of a well-generalized model.…”

Review of Industry 4.0 from the Perspective of Automation and Supervision Systems: Definitions, Architectures and Recent Trends

“…From this perspective, the design of HMI/user interfaces is a relevant research field in the context of Industry 4.0 and even in Industry 5.0 [122]. Regarding this topic, and beyond the limits of software, a universal pilar in the design of user interfaces is to provide a satisfactory user experience [123].…”
