Abstract

Method and computer system for evaluating the complexity a user interface are provided. A complexity indicator receives device class specific representations of the user interface. Each device class specific representation refers to a respective device class. The complexity indicator determines complexity values of layout components of the device class specific representations by using complexity evaluation functions associated with the layout components and aggregates the complexity values by device class according to a corresponding layout component hierarchy of the respective device class specific representation.
