UX and UI terminology
UX and UI terms
As a design student, do you have the experience of being confused by a technical term from each other when you work and study? The "secret code" of some technical terms is not communicated in time, which leads to the embarrassment of not being understood.

Person
Persona Chinese for user portraits, this word originated from business, in recent years, with the design profession and business continue to intersect, Persona is no longer simply appearing in business, in the interaction design methodology also occupies a place.
Persona is built, not real, but a snapshot of the user. Some people often mistake the profile of one of the users of the survey as persona after doing the active survey, which is actually inaccurate. Persona is like an imaginary enemy, and he needs to have all the pain points in user research.
UI Elements
A user interface (UI) element is a virtual project on a website interface that allows users to participate in the design. Examples of these items include buttons, slider arrows, navigation bars, drop-down lists, message boxes, and anything else that allows users to navigate through the site. We can open a website to see this information, which is also a basic element that a web page should have.
Breadcrumbs
The design term "breadcrumbs" was borrowed from a fairy tale by the Brothers Grimm, the Famous Fairy Tale of the Jungle Book (Hansel and Gletto). It tells the story of two young protagonists who leave breadcrumbs all the way in the forest and return home by this path.
Like a fairy tale, breadcrumbs are secondary navigation help, and users can use paths in the website to return to the parent page. Despite being on the back burner, crumbs have been in use since 1995, helping to make the design easier to use.
Wireframe
A wireframe is a framework for the design of a product, application, or website. It's a blueprint for design, without any content, images, or interactive elements. The purpose of a wireframe diagram is to lay out the functionality and content of the page, showing the position of design elements on the screen. Wireframes are made in the early development phases prior to prototyping to establish the basic structure of the page before adding any design elements.
Prototype
A prototype is the outline of the final product for testing before a product is released. The low-level prototype shows a basic sketch of the design's appearance. Advanced prototypes, on the other hand, add more detail to the sketch, but are not fully designed prototypes.
Mockup
A model is a realistic representation of the final appearance of the design. Remember, the model looks exactly like the final product. This means that it is formed after all the modifications to the design.
Card Sorting
Card classification (wall-sticking) is a user research method that requires users to place information in groups that are meaningful to them. Card classification technology allows you to develop an effective, user-friendly sitemap and information architecture. You can use paper, card, or online card sorting tools to sort your cards.
Usability Test
Usability in UX design terminology refers to the ease of navigating through the design. As a result, usability testing requires users to complete tasks, while researchers observe them to understand any problems or confusion encountered when interacting with the design.

API
An application programming interface that refers to a connection channel between two software/systems to achieve data transfer and processing. Like what:
Plug in the USB cable of the mobile phone Connect to the computer, the USB data cable socket is an API interface.
When transferring pictures between MacBook and iPhone, the air transfer capability is an API interface
SDK
A software development kit is a virtual installation package that combines certain functions and can be used externally by other companies (the functions inside).
Features: Sdk users can save a lot of development costs and human resources, convenient /fast calling. For SDK producers, it can expand the existing product ecosystem.
RT
System response time: Refers to the time elapsed after the client makes a request, and the server begins to accept, process, and return the result of the request. The longer the page loads, the longer the RT will be.
SKU
SKU: The smallest unit that makes up a product/information, equivalent to a granularity.
For example: a layer, a bottle of mineral water, a perfume flavor
SPU
Standard Product Unit: Arguably the set of the smallest unit of information. One SPU is equivalent to a group of N SKUs.
For example: a layer group, a mineral water, a bottle of perfume information
