User Interface Validation using Mode Confusion Detection

Source: DOI Authors: Jayaprakash Suraj Nandiganahalli, Sangjin Lee, Inseok Hwang, Bong-Jun Yang Date: 2014

Core idea

The paper models interface state, operator expectation, and automation mode to detect mismatches that lead to dangerous mode confusion.

Harness takeaway

Live, replay, simulation, draft-approval, and branch-inspection modes should be modeled explicitly and validated, not merely color-coded after the fact.
