Semi-Automated System to Create User Scenarios, Mind Mapping, Prototyping, and HCI Best Practices

Abstract

This paper introduces "SmartDesigner," a solution designed to address software product inconsistency by adhering to HCI best practices and ensuring compliance with HCI principles, all while requiring minimal supervisor guidance. The research approach encompasses a literature survey on existing automated UI generation tools and a user survey exploring the necessity of an automated user interface generation system. The survey investigates the underlying systems and software employed for automating the UI generation process. By integrating the design thinking process, including requirement gathering, user scenario generation, mind map creation, wireframing, and web UI development, along with evaluating the application of HCI concepts, SmartDesigner aims to streamline the UI design process. Additionally, the interview component of the research focuses on understanding the significance of artifact consistency, contributing further insights to the study.
