Choose Major User Objects
Major user objects are the things in your interface that users have
to manipulate, either literally or figuratively, as they move through
their work flow. These interface objects are usually related to, but not
necessarily the same as underlying software objects, or the objects
described in object-oriented analysis and design. Interface objects are
objects in the representational world that you are creating with the
interface.
- Identify Objects from Analysis Documents: use the information
gathered from site visits and observing and interviewing targeted
users in the Analysis phase to identify the objects users will want
to see and act on in the interface when performing the tasks the
system supports.
- Identify Object Attributed: the information about the objects that
users need to see when performing tasks.
- Identify User Actions on Task Objects: using information in your
task analyses and use case scenarios, identify needed user actions
on each of the objects and sub-objects. Identify the terminology
users use when describing these actions.
