UFT Web Sites and Web Applications should have the same look & feel. The differences between a web site and a web application are as follows:
Web applications
- A web application is an application that’s accessed through a web browser.
- A web application performs tasks on behalf of the user
Websites
- A website is a series of pages or documents that may embed media (images, video, etc) that’s accessed through a web browser over the internet.
- Web sites simply contain information
These Application Interface Standards are based on commonly accepted heuristic guidelines. The look & feel standards are sourced directly from the official UFT Website.
When designing and creating any website or application, care must be taken to ensure maximum usability and adherence to best practices.
Oftentimes, web applications will be embedded within websites. When this is the case, effort should be made to follow the standards established within that particular application, should they be different from this guide.
Often, the developer will have to use common sense and good judgment to decide what is most appropriate.
