Axure

ux/ui

This item was not updated in last three versions of the Radar. Should it have appeared in one of the more recent editions, there is a good chance it remains pertinent. However, if the item dates back further, its relevance may have diminished and our current evaluation could vary. Regrettably, our capacity to consistently revisit items from past Radar editions is limited.

Axure is a tool that enables the creation of flowcharts, wireframes, mockups, user journeys and more. Through features such as conditional logic, dynamic content and animations it is possible to create highly functional and rich UI prototypes, which convey a realistic look and feel as to how the application to be developed should behave and look.

We at have used Axure successfully in several projects and it helped us a lot, particularly:

as a basis for discussing how features should look, feel and work with customers
as a basis for customers' discussions with other stakeholders
as a basis for discussion and specifications for developers as to how features should look and behave

In conclusion, Axure is a great tool that provides all stakeholders with a common understanding and helped us a lot to specify requirements and find their implications.
