Previous: STD extraction
For a user, an STD state represents a unique and relative
consistent user interface and requires relatively consistent user
reaction. However, different states differ in their intra-state
consistency. The same state may have different internal data and
external user interface appearance during usage. The content of a
state can even be dynamic, , file browsers and text readers.
Intra-state consistency can be improved by using more states. The
dynamic content problem can be partially solved by obtaining
information about the content, such as obtaining the number of
items in the current directory and the size of the text to be
shown.
