Algorithm for Effectiveness Evaluating of Graphical User Interfaces Color Aesthetic

Abstract

Purpose: currently, for the performance of various job responsibilities by users, there is a wide range of software characterized, in addition to functionality, by cognitive and ergonomic characteristics, on which such user indicators as: work speed, satisfaction, probability of making mistakes, etc. depend. In order to select the most effective software products from a variety of existing analogues, a scientific and methodological tool based on a strict mathematical apparatus is needed, which will avoid subjectivity of the evaluation results. The purpose of the work is to develop a scientific and methodological tool in the form of an algorithm that allows evaluating software products to select the most effective ones. Methods: to achieve this goal, a comparative analysis of a wide range of approaches from such fields of science as visual aesthetics was carried out; human-computer interaction, gestalt psychology, neuroaesthetics, perceptual psychology and ergonomics, which allowed us to identify a number of approaches capable of solving the tasks of this study. Novelty: compared with differential approaches to software evaluation, the developed algorithm is based on the aggregation of a number of selected indicators for evaluating the consistency of information and functional elements of graphical user interfaces. Results: an algorithm for evaluating the consistency of information and functional elements of graphical user interfaces has been developed, which allows evaluating and comparing software products in this area.
