Abstract

Information technology has clearly incremented the number of people interacting with computers through user interface (UI). Besides, there is a lack of concern regarding the User Interface design in the main software development methodology. This document describes a process for the UI, which is integrated with the Microsoft Solution Framework: It also defines workers, activities and involved artifacts.

Keywords: User Interface Design, Software Development Process, Integration
