Writing User Interface Requirements

Audience members learn about the extensive benefits of writing a comprehensive set of user interface requirements that can then serve to accelerate user interface design efforts and avoid time-consuming and expensive rework. They also learn about problems that can arise when user interface requirements are incomplete and/or incorrect, thereby failing to promote user interface design excellence.

Following the webinar, attendees should be better prepared to confidently write their own high-quality user interface requirements.

This webinar touches on:

• Sample user interface requirements from various device types.
• Improvement strategies for weak user interface requirements.
• Tips to ensure requirements can be verified.
