USER CENTERED DESIGN

Introduction:
For the present software applications, the UI design is one of the critical aspects. The
UI actually stands for User Interface (Shneiderman et al. 2016). The user interface is the
graphical representation of any type of applications. A common type of user interface can
include several of important components including the buttons, texts, sliders, images and
other important items with which the user is able to interact (Krogsæter, Oppermann and
Thomas 2017). The other important components that are considered for the UI design are the
layout of the screen, transitions and animations in the interface.
For preparing an appropriate UI for the users it is very much important to focus on the
user-centred design. The user-centred design is a process of iterative design and in this type
of design process the developer gives the priority to the users and their needs in all the phases
of the design process (Organ et al. 2018). The main aim of user-centred design process is
developing a highly usable products for the users. In this report a research will done
regarding the type of user interface used for the software applications. Specifically, in this
report the research will be done on “Programmers can use the Graphical User Interface
applications for the application development purposes”.
The need for Programmers to use a GUI Application:
Currently, most of the programmers develop several of applications through the CLI
or the Command Line Interface. In this type of programming the programmers need to
several of commands and codes for preparing the applications (Shah and Skyttner 2017). For
the experienced programmers this is not a big issue as they have gained enough knowledge to
use the appropriate commands whenever it required. This can be a problem for relatively
inexperienced programmers who does not have proper knowledge of all the commands. At
the time of programming, the logical thinking of the programmers plays an important role
