E-UIDL用户界面描述语言下的开发方法
|
摘要
当前的用户界面开发过程需要产品经理、交互设计师、视觉设计师及用户界面开发工程师等多个角色的共同参与,各个角色的分工越来越细致,并且不同的角色在开发过程中使用的工具各不相同,这导致了界面开发过程中沟通成本的增加以及工作效率的降低.介绍了一种基于用户界面描述语言的开发方法,该方法能够降低用户界面开发过程中不同角色之间的沟通成本及转换成本,提高用户界面开发的效率.首先介绍E-UIDL(extensible user interface description language)——一种新的用户界面描述语言,并在此基础上设计了基于E-UIDL的开发方法及辅助开发工具,最后,通过实例介绍了利用基于E-UIDL的开发工具进行界面开发的过程,证明了基于用户界面描述语言的开发方法的可行性及优势.
The division of roles becomes more and more complex in user interface development,and the tools used in the development process vary greatly.These problems result in increase of communication cost and decrease of efficiency.This article introduces a development method based on user interface description language.First,a new user interface description language E-UIDL is proposed.Then,a series of supporting tools based on E-UIDL are designed.Next,the development process of the user interface based on E-UIDL and related tools is presented.Finally,the feasibility of the proposed method is validated.
