用户界面设计指标可帮助开发人员在将软件交付给最终用户之前在早期阶段评估界面设计。本文提出了一种名为 GUIEvaluator 的基于度量的工具，用于根据用户界面的结构评估其复杂性。我们定义了一个度量模型，其中包括五种修改后的界面复杂性结构度量：对齐、分组、大小、密度和平衡。我们的工具的结果与界面布局的主观评价进行了比较。本文展示了将自动化复杂性度量纳入用户界面设计过程的潜在好处。我们的研究结果表明，主观评估和 GUIEvaluator 的界面复杂性值均值在显着性水平 0.01 上相等。关键词-用户界面设计、GUI、复杂性指标、屏幕美观、可用性、自动化工具。
User interface design metrics assist developers to evaluate interface designs in early phase before delivering the software to end users. This paper presents a metric-based tool called GUIEvaluator for evaluating the complexity of the user interface based on its structure. We defined a metrics model that includes five modified structural measures of interface complexity: Alignment, grouping, size, density, and balance. The results of our tool are discussed in comparison with the subjective evaluations of interface layouts. This paper demonstrates the potential benefits of incorporating automated complexity metrics into the user interface design process. Our findings show that the means of the interface complexity values for both the subjective evaluation and the GUIEvaluator are equal at a significance level 0.01.
