用户界面的功能越来越多，但很少有系统的方法可以使它们变得更好。用户界面应该根据经验进行评估然后改进，但实际上许多产品是设计出来然后卖给用户的，几乎没有改进的机会。因此，在设计时支持可用性分析至关重要。本文介绍的是 Hyperdoc（一种用于简单交互系统的用户界面 shell）以及用它可以做什么。 Hyperdoc 运行与其手册相结合的交互式系统。它提供交互式帮助，但它也可以按照任何指定的标准生成常规手册。事实证明它非常灵活。不过，Hyperdoc 的主要目的是促进设计分析。
User interfaces are getting more and more features, but there are very few systematic ways to make them any better. User interfaces should be empirically evaluated and then improved, but in practice many products are designed and then sold to users, with little opportunity for improvements. It is therefore crucial to have support for usability analysis at design time. This paper is about Hyperdoc, a user interface shell for simple interactive systems, and what can be done with it. Hyperdoc runs interactive systems combined with their manuals. It provides interactive help, but it can also generate conventional manuals following any specified criteria. It has turned out to be surprisingly flexible. Hyperdoc’s main purpose, though, is to facilitate design analysis.
