Due to data-driven application nature and its increasing complexity, developing its user interface can be a repetitive and time-consuming activity. Consequently, developers tend to focus more on the user interface aspects and less on business related code. In this paper, we present an alternative approach to graphical user interface development for data-driven applications, where the key concep...

User interface design metrics assist developers to evaluate interface designs in early phase before delivering the software to end users. This paper presents a metric-based tool called GUIEvaluator for evaluating the complexity of the user interface based on its structure. We defined a metrics model that includes five modified structural measures of interface complexity: Alignment, grouping, si...

Creating and modifying Macro-Files can be a laborious task when using the wrong editor. However, Macro-Files are the only possibility to build macros and to define their appearance in the DELT/A. On this account, the Macro Editor was developed. Its graphical user interface is divided into different views each corresponding to a specific part of the file. This kind of representation provides a h...
