Using historical data to guide user interface evolution

Published: 14 October 2006 Publication History

Abstract

In this paper we show how historical data, such as existing domain-specific databases or access logs, can be used to guide user interface design. We show how we employed such data in the process of improving usability of a web application used each year by over 40,000 16-year-olds to apply to senior high schools in various Polish cities.
