Figure 1: Design Exploration Process
Figure 1 shows an overview of the Design Exploration process.
Partial Design Creation
Users provide input by creating partial designs. The partial designs are non-functional user interface mock-ups with added textual descriptions and explanations.
Partial Design Exploration
Software developers explore and analyze set of partial designs created by users. Through this process, developers gain insight into user desires, software features, and domain information. Since the set of data created can be quite large, an exploration tool helps developers navigate and explore users' partial designs.
