 +====== Web-Based User Interface (Web UI) ======

 +
 +===== Discussion =====
 +
 +A Web-Based User Interface (Web UI) provides a graphical interface that a person accesses through a web browser to interact with a software system.
 +
 +A Web UI can allow a user to:
 +
 +  * Select operations
 +  * Supply input values
 +  * Review configuration
 +  * Initiate activities
 +  * Observe execution status
 +  * Review results
 +  * Examine logs
 +  * Inspect [[public:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:a:artifact|Artifacts]]
 +  * Review findings and [[public:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:e:evidence|Evidence]]
 +
 +A Web UI exchanges information with the underlying software through one or more defined software interfaces.
 +
 +Within Crucible documentation, a Web UI provides one possible human-facing interface for configuring, initiating, observing, and reviewing Crucible operations.
 +
 +===== Definition =====
 +
 +//graphical user interface accessed through a web browser that enables a person to interact with a software system//
 +
 +===== Source =====
 +
 +DIDO-controlled term adapted from established web-application and user-interface practices.
 +
 +===== Note =====
 +
 +The term **Web UI** means **Web-Based User Interface**.
 +
 +A Web UI differs from a [[public:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:c:cli|Command-Line Interface (CLI)]]. A Web UI provides browser-based graphical interaction, while a CLI accepts textual commands, options, and arguments.
 +
 +A Web UI differs from an Application Programming Interface. A Web UI supports interaction by a person, while an Application Programming Interface supports interaction between software components.
 +
 +A Web UI can invoke the same underlying operations exposed through a CLI or Application Programming Interface.
 +
 +The existence of a Web UI does not require every Crucible operation to be interactive. Automated [[public:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:w:workflow|Workflows]] and [[public:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:c:ci_cd_pipeline|CI/CD Pipelines]] can use noninteractive interfaces.
 +
 +===== Example =====
 +
 +An operator accesses the Crucible Web UI through a browser, selects a Workspace, chooses a Baseline Composition operation, supplies the required parameters, initiates execution, and reviews the resulting status and Evidence.
