Design for error prevention
A good
design strives to prevent errors from happening in the first place. Of
course, user errors are not the only type of errors that can occur in
complex mobile systems.
-
Be as
consistent as possible with labels, icons, concepts etc., especially
within the product itself
-
Ensure
that navigation behavior is consistent and predictable, especially back
navigation
-
Work to
ensure that if the design is leveraging existing expectations and
knowledge to not introduce features, functions or concepts that will
alienate and frustrate the user
-
Account
for divided attention during use and allow for easy recovery from errors
-
If an
action the user is about to take cannot be recovered from in the case of
an error, warn the user
-
Follow
all of the other user experience guidelines within this document as well
as those provided by other sources
