www. site. uottawa. ca/~elsaddik www. el-saddik. com 2. User Centered Design There is no fixed process for HCI design. . . • • . . . Just a series of techniques that have been found helpful. . . And some guidelines to help choose and sequence those techniques Key principles of user-centered design: 1. It should involve users as much as possible so they can influence the design 2. It should integrate knowledge and expertise from all the disciplines that influence HCI design 3. It should be highly iterative so testing can be done and so users will be satisfied. 5 Unit D-Design methods (c) elsaddik

www. site. uottawa. ca/~elsaddik www. el-saddik. com 2. User Centered Design Some attributes one needs to be a good UI designer: 1. A sense of empathy with users • • An ability to understand their mental models An ability to rapidly learn their domain and tasks 2. Hands-on experience with a wide variety of software. • • The more software you see, the more ideas you will have Analyze all the software you know for malfunctions • This will prevent you from repeating errors! 3. Familiarity with UI design techniques and guidelines Golden rule of interface design: 6 Unit D-Design methods (c) elsaddik “Know The User”

www. site. uottawa. ca/~elsaddik www. el-saddik. com 2. User Centered Design Some critical aspects of the general SE process needed to produce good UIs: (Note: These alone are not enough!) 1. The goal of all activities must be solving the customer’s problem 2. Extensive data gathering and analysis must be done to ensure we understand all aspects of the problem. 3. Well-structured requirements must be reviewed and agreed-to. 4. Foster a disciplined software engineering process. 5. Effective regimes must be in place for: • • 7 Unit D-Design methods (c) elsaddik Quality assurance Configuration management

Case Study: Olympic Messaging System (OMS) Developed by Gould for the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics • Led to the recognition of the term ‘user-centered design’ • Objective: • Develop a system to allow communication among thousands of people during the Olympics • Assumptions: • Telephones will not work as people are constantly moving and participating in events • Non-computer users • To be used by over 20 000 people from kiosks 8 Unit D-Design methods (c) elsaddik

www. site. uottawa. ca/~elsaddik www. el-saddik. com 3. Case Study: Olympic Messaging System (OMS) Some of the techniques used: 1. Initial analysis, interviewing, site visits etc. 2. Usage scenarios prepared • • Commented on by many people Result: Changes made and some functions dropped 3. User guide prepared • Modified 200 times before final version decided 4. Simulations constructed and evaluated • • Primary purpose: Designing help messages Result: Discovered need for consistent ‘undo’ and ‘go back’ functionality 5. Prototype constructed • Result: Many more iterations 6. ‘Hallway’ method • Soliciting opinions of passers-by 7. ‘Try-to-destroy-it’ method 9 Unit D-Design methods (c) elsaddik • Hire hackers to try and break it

www. site. uottawa. ca/~elsaddik www. el-saddik. com 3. Case Study: Olympic Messaging System (OMS) 10 Unit D-Design methods (c) elsaddik Conclusions: 1. Focus on users and their tasks early, and keep them central 2. Measure reactions using prototype manuals and systems 3. Design iteratively because even highly-skilled designers get it wrong 4. Usability factors must evolve together and be under the control of one group 5. The extra work of user-centered design greatly reduces work later on

www. site. uottawa. ca/~elsaddik www. el-saddik. com 4. Participatory Design Problem • intuitions wrong • interviews etc not precise • designer cannot know the user sufficiently well to answer all issues that come up during the design Solution • designers should have access to pool of representative users • END users, not their managers or union reps! 11 Unit D-Design methods (c) elsaddik The user is just like me

www. site. uottawa. ca/~elsaddik www. el-saddik. com 4. Participatory Design 12 Unit D-Design methods (c) elsaddik • Users become first class members in the design process • active collaborators vs. passive participants • Users considered subject matter experts • know all about the work context • Iterative process • all design stages subject to revision

www. site. uottawa. ca/~elsaddik www. el-saddik. com 4. Participatory Design Advantages • users are excellent at reacting to suggested system designs • designs must be concrete and visible • users bring in important “folk” knowledge of work context • knowledge may be otherwise inaccessible to design team • greater buy-in for the system often results Drawbacks • hard to get a good pool of end users • expensive, reluctance. . . • users are not expert designers • don’t expect them to come up with design ideas from scratch • the user is not always right • don’t expect them to know what they want 13 Unit D-Design methods (c) elsaddik

www. site. uottawa. ca/~elsaddik www. el-saddik. com Methods for involving the user At the very least, talk to users • surprising how many designers don’t! Interviews • used to discover user’s culture, requirements, expectations, etc. • contextual inquiry: • interview users in their workplace, as they are doing their job Explain designs • describe what you’re going to do • get input at all design stages • all designs subject to revision • important to have visuals and/or demos • people react far differently with verbal explanations 14 Unit D-Design methods (c) elsaddik

www. site. uottawa. ca/~elsaddik www. el-saddik. com 5. Design Rationale Def: the reasoning behind the design of a software It could be understood as either: • The process of choosing among design alternatives • A document carefully explaining why certain design decisions are made Who needs design rationale: • Other developers and maintainers • So the design remains consistent • So old analysis is not repeated • Trainers • So they can answer learners’ questions • Learners may develop a better mental model • Marketing personnel • So they can answer customers’ questions • New staff or new projects • So consistency is maintained 15 Unit D-Design methods (c) elsaddik

www. site. uottawa. ca/~elsaddik www. el-saddik. com Ways people record design decisions • Not at all! • Minutes of meetings • Buried in lengthy narrative • Table with. . . • • Alternatives considered Pros and cons of alternatives Alternative chosen This approach is reasonable • Diagrams plus tables plus a small amount of narrative • This is ideal but needs computer support to make it fast • We will look at some diagramming techniques 16 Unit D-Design methods (c) elsaddik

www. site. uottawa. ca/~elsaddik www. el-saddik. com Approaches to Document Design • Issue analysis • Determine UI issues to be resolved and options for their resolution • Design space analysis • exploration of a space of alternatives • For several options, determine goals they would achieve • Claims analysis • Look for ‘claims’ explicit or implicit in a design decision • Reason about whether the claim is legitimate • e. g. A design has single-letter commands • Implicit claim: This is faster to use • Is it really? Document reasoning 17 Unit D-Design methods (c) elsaddik

www. site. uottawa. ca/~elsaddik www. el-saddik. com Issued-Based Analysis • Originated with the IBIS system in 1970: (Issued-Based Information Systems) • PHI is a more modern variant (Procedural Hierarchy of Issues) Steps: 1. Build a hierarchy of issues (‘questions’) • Sub-issues are issues that, if resolved, would help solve higher level issues • • Identify high level (prime) issues Repeatedly identify sub-issues breadth-first 2. Resolve issues starting at the bottom level • • • List options (positions or answers) i. e. ways of dealing with each issue List arguments for and against each option Choose the best answer 3. Leave the hierarchy, options, arguments and chosen option in the design documentation! 18 Unit D-Design methods (c) elsaddik

Unit D-Design methods (c) elsaddik How to go to higher level? How to exit system? How to get more detail? How to get related books? 19 How to go to previous screen

www. site. uottawa. ca/~elsaddik www. el-saddik. com Design space analysis • • Exploration of space of alternatives Better quality because designer will have explored more alternatives • • And documents them at the same time Use of QOC notation • • Questions: highlight issues that must be considered Options • Criteria: argue for or against various alternatives Steps to make a decision about an issue: 1. List the options as in issue analysis 2. List positive criteria (benefits gained, or goals achieved by choosing one or more options). 3. Show which criteria argue for or against each option 4. Pick the option that best meets goals 20 Unit D-Design methods (c) elsaddik

www. site. uottawa. ca/~elsaddik www. el-saddik. com Using Design rationale is critical in UI design because: • There are usually numerous alternatives • Unless analysis is systematic, one may • . . . pick a suboptimal alternative • . . . not even think of one or more alternatives • Alternatives depend on the context • If the context changes, one can quickly study the reasoning to see if a system change is needed Design rationale is good for both • Actively designing • Recording (documenting) the design 23 Unit D-Design methods (c) elsaddik

www. site. uottawa. ca/~elsaddik www. el-saddik. com Using Design rationale As a minimum, use design rationale when: • • There is deliberation over a decision Reviewers raise issues Opinion war is looming Accommodation is necessary Special knowledge is applied Testing reveals shortcomings Uncertainty remains A kludge had to be made Use issue and design space analysis in a brainstorming environment • And record the results Analyze all claims (evaluate them) • And record the results 24 Unit D-Design methods (c) elsaddik

www. site. uottawa. ca/~elsaddik www. el-saddik. com 6. UI Prototyping involves a scaled down analysisdesign-evaluate cycle • It is an analysis technique Two key kinds of UI prototypes: • Paper based • Quick and inexpensive • Stimulates ideas in a brainstorming environment • Software based • Demonstrate functionality and usability • A simulation of the eventual system 25 Unit D-Design methods (c) elsaddik

www. site. uottawa. ca/~elsaddik www. el-saddik. com Why is it essential to prototype the UI? • With technical design documents alone. . . • It is hard to imagine ramifications of design decisions • It is hard to represent interactions in a complete, consistent and readable way • The system may have high functionality with low usability • People are much more likely to get the functional aspects of a system right up front • The UI is where most complaints will come from • It is too late to start fixing it once the product is built 26 Unit D-Design methods (c) elsaddik

www. site. uottawa. ca/~elsaddik www. el-saddik. com Some ideas of paper prototyping 1. Draw diagrams on cards for each screen, window, menu • Don’t worry about being precise; sketch roughly 2. Draw different versions of the cards so you can experiment with which is best 3. Experiment walking through various tasks (‘scenarios’) 4. Do the above in a brainstorming environment with users and colleagues Keep the design space open as long as possible! • • 33 Unit D-Design methods (c) elsaddik Commit to a particular UI as late as possible Storyboards are faster and cheaper than computer prototypes

www. site. uottawa. ca/~elsaddik www. el-saddik. com 8. Software based prototype • Actually works • Must be built quickly and cheaply • Is an integral part of user-centered design • Evaluation and modification are fundamental • The code is generally thrown away • But the design is kept! • In incremental and evolutionary prototyping the code may be kept • But watch out for unmaintainable code A requirements animation: • Is a less functional kind of prototype • A demonstration of the system that acts like a ‘movie’ • walks through interactions • Can be stepped through to illustrate tasks • Can be quick to set up 34 Unit D-Design methods (c) elsaddik

Screens where you have unusual widgets Anything safety-critical, even if only used occasionally

www. site. uottawa. ca/~elsaddik www. el-saddik. com Approaches to limiting prototype functionality • Vertical prototypes • includes in-depth functionality for only a few selected features • common design ideas can be tested in depth • Horizontal prototypes • surface layers includes the entire user interface with no underlying functionality • a simulation; no real work can be performed • Scenario • scripts of particular fixed uses of the system; no deviation allowed 36 Unit D-Design methods (c) elsaddik

www. site. uottawa. ca/~elsaddik www. el-saddik. com Approaches to integrating prototypes and product: • Throw-away • prototype only serves to elicit user reaction • creating prototype must be rapid, otherwise too expensive • Incremental • product built as separate components (modules) • each component prototyped and tested, then added to the final system • Evolutionary • prototype altered to incorporate design changes • eventually becomes the final product 37 Unit D-Design methods (c) elsaddik
