Talk:Usability engineering

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Editing note: should this article be merged with User interface engineering ? -- MichaelMcGuffin

  • I don't think the two should be merged. My understanding is that usability engineering is broader in scope than just the design of the user interface; it can encompass other aspects such as the metaphorical paradigm of a piece of software, response times and other behavioral aspects, and even the API of a shared programming library. Though, depending on how broad your definition of "user interface" is, all that could be considered part of it. I would happily entertain any proposals to merge this article with Usability, however. -- Wapcaplet 20:28, 1 Jul 2004 (UTC)
  • At this point, is there anything in this article that isn't in both the uie and usability articles? I don't see anything that would be missed. Jakob certainly doesn't need the additional promotion. (Ronz 01:18, 1 June 2006 (UTC))
