The principled application of best practices is required to provide human-usable systems and products, whether you call this process usability engineering, human factors, ergonomics, user interface design, interaction design, or user experience design. These practices include heuristic and ethnographic evaluation of current systems; task, information, and functional requirements analysis; human modeling; application of decision support heuristics; information architecture design; navigation paradigm evolution; interaction paradigm development; iterative evaluation; and widget selection and standardization.
