Confusing date December 2006 Interface apparency refers to the degree to which the user interface enables a wiktionary user user to understand hidden contingencies within a computer system in other words, how easy it is for a person coming upon an interface a website, a computer program, or a kiosk to understand the sequence of steps to perform a complex action using that interface. Spatial Visualization Ability Spatial visualization ability helps to predict which users will be bothered by low levels of apparency in an interface the higher a person s spatial visualization ability, the less trouble he or she will have with an interface with hidden dependencies. Introduction Alonso and Kent Norman Norman 1998 define interface apparency as visually showing hidden relationships in the interface. In situations where certain options are unavailable or greyed out, it may be unclear what circumstances would allow those options to be available. For instance, if one is using a text editor, the Delete option may be unavailable because no text is selected, or if no text is on the clipboard, Paste may be greyed out. Recommendations Having hidden dependencies between actions in an application is generally a bad idea increasing the apparency of a website or piece of application software should improve performance for all users.

In the Java programming language , the constant interface Design pattern computer science pattern describes the use of an interface Java interface solely to define constants, and having Class computer science classes implement that interface in order to achieve convenient syntactic access to those constants. However, since constants are very often merely an implementation detail, and the interfaces implemented by a class are part of its exported API, this practice amounts to putting implementations details into the API, which is considered inappropriate. ref Bloch, Joshua, Effective Java, 2nd Edition, p. 98 ref ref name Sun Sun Microsystems, Inc. 2004 . http java.sun.com j2se 1.5.0 docs guide language static import.html Static Import . ref In general, collecting system constants into classes independent of behaviour, might create a poor object oriented design, because it is often a sign of low Cohesion computer science cohesion .

Disney World presents different cities and countries from around the world, and rather than tourists going to those actual places they pay money to see the fake version. People are capable of going to these places but Disney lays out a condensed form.

The immutable interface pattern involves defining a type which does not provide any Method computer science methods which mutate state. Objects which are referenced by that type are not seen to have any mutable state, and appear immutable. Example Java Consider a Java class which represents a 2 dimensional point. source lang java public class Point2D private int x private int y public Point2D int x, int y this.x x this.y y public int getX return this.x public int getY return this.y public void setX int newX this.x newX public void setY int newY this.y newY source The class Point2D is mutable its state can be changed after construction, by invoking either of the setter methods code setX code or code setY code . An immutable interface for Point2D could be defined as source lang java public interface ImmutablePoint2D public int getX public int getY source By making Point2D implement ImmutablePoint2D, client code could now reference a type which does not have mutating methods, and thus appears immutable. This is demonstrated in the following example source lang ... interface int x point.getX valid method call point.setX 42 compile error the method setX does not exist on type ImmutablePoint2D source By referencing only the immutable interface, it is not valid ... by the immutable interface type to be Type conversion cast to their concrete, mutable type, and have ... source Concrete classes have to explicitly declare they implement the immutable interface.

A public interface is the logical point at which independent software entities interact. The entities may interact with each other within a single computer, across a network, or across a variety of other topologies. It is important that public interfaces be stable and designed to support future changes, enhancements, and deprecation in order for the interaction to continue. Deleted image removed image Public interface.gif Design Guidance A project must provide additional documents that describe plans and procedures that can be used to evaluate the project s compliance. Provide an architecture design document. Provide a coding standards document. Provide a software release plan document. Provide a document with a plan for deprecating obsolete interfaces. Create fully insulated classes. Insulate public interfaces from compile time dependencies. Best practices Present complete and coherent sets of concepts to the user. Design interfaces to be statically typed. Minimize the interface s dependencies on other interfaces. Express interfaces in terms of application level types. Use assertions only to aid development and integration. Examples C interface Use protocol classes to define public interfaces. The characteristics of a protocol class are It neither contains nor inherits from classes that contain member data, non virtual functions, or private or protected members of any kind. It has a non inline virtual destructor defined with an empty implementation. All member functions other than the destructor, including inherited functions, are declared pure virtual and left undefined. Benefits The benefits of using protocol classes include Insulating applications from the external client Insulating changes that are internal to the interface Insulating changes to the public interface from changes to the implementation of the interface Insulation has costs, but these tend to be outweighed by the gains in interoperability and reusability.
