ABSTRACT
In development phases of a software, its user interface is crucial to acceptance. In early phases, rapid prototyping helps in gaining sponsors for the development project. During development, the user interface is updated to meet changing requirements and, finally, maintenance-related tasks consume a major portion of effort. Some of this exertion is inherent and unavoidable, but very often it is just unnecessary overhead which is hindered by tedious internal dependencies being out of synchrony. In this paper, we show how a self-configuration via software introspection combined with semantic mapping of backend methods can be used to maintain quality of a user-interface even under pressure of changing requirements.
