Understanding a Human Interface Guidelines for Development
HIG — Human Interface Guidelines, is the software development documentation Model, which offer an Application to developer with a set of recommendations.
Simple Approach for HIG:
Human interface guidelines often describe the visual design rules, including icon and window design and style. Frequently they specify how user input and interaction mechanisms work. Aside from the detailed rules, guidelines sometimes also make broader suggestions about how to organize and design the application and write user-interface text.
HIGs are also done for applications. In this case, the HIG will build on a platform HIG by adding the common semantics for a range of application functions.
The HIG, the aim is to improve the user experience by making the application interface in a highly effective manner, mostly it will develop with proper guidelines for human interface design. Because guides limit the application themselves to defining a common look and feel for the particular section or part of a application development.
Policies, sometimes policies are based on the HCI-Human Computer Interaction, but mostly it will part of the platform developers preferences and user experience designer.
The scope of the HIG, centralized aim for this to create an experience across the environment (Desktop, Mobile, Other Devices…). The both applying the same element designs like Visual Design and Creating consistent access to the user behavior of common elements of the interface, interaction elements like button and Icons are simple, and more complex construction such as dialog boxes.
HIG is recommendations and advice to help the developer to create a better application. Developers sometimes intentionally choose to break them if they think that the guidelines do not fit their application, or usability testing reveals an advantage in doing so. But in turn, the organization publishing the HIG might withhold endorsement of the application.
