Abstract
Many measures exist to (semi-)automatically compute the quality of a graphical user interface, such as aesthetic metrics, visual metrics, and performance metrics. These measures are mostly individual as they apply to a single graphical user interface at a time. Unlike these measures, consistency requires evaluating a number of screens within the same application (intra-application consistency) or across applications (inter-application consistency). This paper presents a formula, a method, and supporting software for computing this consistency and its counterpart, inconsistency, either completely automatically when the interface segmentation is performed by the software or semi-automatically when the interface segmentation is performed manually by the end-user.
