Abstract

The set of tests developed to assess the internal validity of a user interface (UI) pattern languages [27, 28] form the basis of the proposed UI pattern language maturity model (UMM). UMM uses the UI pattern modelling technique developed for describing example UIs [26]. By building these models a UI pattern language's structure can be improved - a generative process. The UI pattern language maturity model is evaluated by using it to rate a selection of general UI pattern languages, plus two versions of a pattern language developed specifically for teaching purposes.
