摘要

我们提出了一种“轻量级”的视觉形式，可用于检查界面的状态空间复杂性。该方法可以为设计、测试和记录基于典型GUI表单的界面的“前端”组件提供基础。该标准旨在保持独立，并寻求解决特定于基于表单的GUI界面的问题。该方法基于用于对GUI组件建模的状态转换图(STD)表示法。可以在接口设计的早期阶段使用std来量化和控制表面级复杂性。为了进一步实现界面复杂性的可视化，图论中使用的技术被应用于确定一种新的复杂性度量，然后可以用来提高可用性。

A visual formalism for graphical user interfaces based on state transition diagrams

We present a "lightweight" visual formalism that can be used to examine the state space complexity of an interface. The method can form a basis for designing, testing and documenting the 'front-end' component of a typical GUI forms based interface. The standard is intended to be free standing and seeks to address issues specific to forms based GUI interfaces. The method is based on a state transition diagram (STD) notation that is used to model the GUI component. STDs can be used at an early stage in the design of an interface to quantify and control surface level complexity. Further to allowing a visualisation of the complexity of an interface, techniques used in graph theory are applied to determine a novel measure of complexity that can then be used to better usability.
