Escaping the design traps of creeping featurism: Introducing a fitness management strategy
نویسندگان
چکیده
Creeping featurism is a process that produces complexity. This paper describes ways to prevent or escape from creeping featurism. We discuss limitations of current methods of user interface design and usability engineering, and propose a fitness management strategy to detect feature creep and to aid the search for innovations.

متن کاملQuiescence: a mechanism for escaping the effects of drug on cell populations.
We point out that a simple and generic strategy in order to lower the risk for extinction consists in developing a dormant stage in which the organism is unable to multiply but may die. The dormant organism is protected against the poisonous environment. The result is to increase the survival probability of the entire population by introducing a type of zero reproductive fitness. This is possib...

متن کاملAn Efficient Global-Search Strategy in Discrete Lagrangian Methods for Solving Hard Satisfiability Problems
In this paper, we present an efficient global-search strategy in an algorithm based on the theory of discrete Lagrange multipliers for solving difficult SAT instances. These difficult benchmarks generally have many traps and basins that attract local-search trajectories. In contrast to trapescaping strategies proposed earlier (Wu & Wah 1999a; 1999b) that only focus on traps, we propose a global...
متن کاملDelineato: Designing Distraction-Free GUIs
A large amount of software products offer a wide range and number of features. This is called featuritis or creeping featurism and tends to rise with each release of the product. Feautiris often adds unnecessary complexity to software, leading to longer learning curves and overall confusing the users and degrading their experience. We take a look to a new design approach tendency that has been ...
