usability

I improved usability by reducing it to one input text field and two buttons for two functionalities. On the front end I used "formaction" attribute in buttons instead of "action" attribute in the form. So I reduced everything into one form. In the backend, it was a bit more complicated. I needed to differentiate between different types of input and gather different classes of the two functionalities into one class. This helped remove code duplicates and made the code easier to understand. In the end, the usability of the web page improved greatly and the backend code was also improved.

Improving usability of input forms in web applications

In the web application I am developing, I had a barcode input text field and a URL input text field for two different functions of the application. This resulted in 4 text input fields and 4 submit buttons. The layout of the web page became confusing for new users and clattered. I needed to reduce input fields in the front end but also in the already implemented back end.

Inspect HTML for Web-page description

When we are doing usability analysis of a web page, it is often convenient if not necessary to know what is the html and css form of the visual elements displayed on the page. This could be done by checking the page source code, but this solution is time consuming, since we have to do a logical match between the code and the element.

Specification of a WEB GUI for several user groups

For telecommunication solutions software packages are released to the customers. This packages consist of several components, which are combined and released. In principle, each component offers full functionality, which can be restricted according to those features the customer has ordered. Furthermore language-specific adaptions are done (e-g- for German, English). The main steps in the workflow are - Product specification. The components of the released product are defined - Customization. Adaption by restricting the features for specific customers - Language Adaptions. All those steps are performed by specific user groups with specific functionality and rights.

Are there automatic approaches or does this have to be checked manually? </span></span></span></span></p>
