Heuristic evaluationA heuristic evaluation is a usability inspection method for computer software that helps to identify usability problems in the user interface design. It specifically involves evaluators examining the interface and judging its compliance with recognized usability principles (the "heuristics"). These evaluation methods are now widely taught and practiced in the new media sector, where user interfaces are often designed in a short space of time on a budget that may restrict the amount of money available to provide for other types of interface testing.
Engineering design processThe engineering design process, also known as the engineering method, is a common series of steps that engineers use in creating functional products and processes. The process is highly iterative - parts of the process often need to be repeated many times before another can be entered - though the part(s) that get iterated and the number of such cycles in any given project may vary. It is a decision making process (often iterative) in which the basic sciences, mathematics, and engineering sciences are applied to convert resources optimally to meet a stated objective.
Cycle de développement (logiciel)Il existe différents types de cycles de développement entrant dans la réalisation d'un logiciel. Ces cycles prennent en compte toutes les étapes de la conception d'un logiciel. Ce cycle de développement est aussi utilisé dans l'industrie aéronautique et spatiale pour définir des systèmes, ou des sous systèmes embarqués ou au sol qu'ils incluent ou pas de l'informatique. vignette|Évolution des cycles basiques vignette|Modèle en cascade Modèle en cascade Le modèle en cascade est issu du développement de logiciels.
