The course is a substitute for:
User Interfaces (Y39TUR)
Lecturer:
Adam Sporka
Tutor:
Ladislav Kunc, Miroslav Macík, Zdeněk Míkovec, Ondřej Poláček, Adam Sporka
Supervisor:
Department of Computer Graphics and Interaction
Synopsis:

Students will be acquainted with fundamental principles of testing of user interfaces. The lectures will cover the most important topics in this particular field in necessary extent. This extent will allow the students to test user interfaces in a given context that is defined, besides other aspects, by life cycle of software products. Important part of the course are issues dealing with user interfaces for special classes of user interfaces (handicapped users, user interfaces for mobile devices etc.). In the framework of seminars and labs the students will go through the whole cycle of the test design including creation of the test infrastructure and considering ethical issues during testing. Integral part of testing pis also evaluation of test results - the students will be acquainted with the evaluation methodology.
