Design methodsDesign methods are procedures, techniques, aids, or tools for designing. They offer a number of different kinds of activities that a designer might use within an overall design process. Conventional procedures of design, such as drawing, can be regarded as design methods, but since the 1950s new procedures have been developed that are more usually grouped together under the name of "design methods". What design methods have in common is that they "are attempts to make public the hitherto private thinking of designers; to externalise the design process".
User experience designUser experience design (UX design, UXD, UED, or XD) is the process of defining the experience a user would go through when interacting with a company, its services, and its products. Design decisions in UX design are often driven by research, data analysis, and test results rather than aesthetic preferences and opinions. Unlike user interface design, which focuses solely on the design of a computer interface, UX design encompasses all aspects of a user's perceived experience with a product or website, such as its usability, usefulness, desirability, brand perception, and overall performance.
Logiciel utilitaireUn logiciel utilitaire (aussi appelé programme utilitaire ou simplement utilitaire) est un logiciel conçu pour analyser, configurer, optimiser ou entretenir une pièce d'équipement informatique, un système d'exploitation, un logiciel ou les informations enregistrées sur un support informatique. Un logiciel utilitaire est utilisé pour gérer un système informatique contrairement aux logiciels d'application, qui visent à exécuter des tâches qui profitent aux utilisateurs du système informatique.
