Abstract

This paper describes the steps of designing and development of the Web Application for Information Dashboard Design. The primary challenge is not only to visualize the data on the charts, but also to increase the usability of the final product and to allow programmers to add new widgets quickly and with minimum input required. Visualization tools are being analyzed both from the historical and modern perspectives. Big attention is paid to how human brain perceives information. Charts development tools (in particular, JavaScript libraries) are analyzed and the need in a new application is proven. Development is then described as an iterative process, including application prototype designing and several phases of usability testing and evaluation. As a part of the project, the open-source Vue.js extension for working with charts is developed. Resulting application satisfies all initial requirements and allows to create a new dashboard based on custom design, or using one of the predefined templates.
