Menu Driven Interface



This interface requires the user to interact with the computer by selecting various options from a list of choices called a menu.




Advantages of menu-driven interface

  • User does not need to memorise lots of commands
  • Easy-to-use program for beginners with minimal training requirements

Disadvantages

  • Certain operations/options cannot be ‘visual’
  • Can be time consuming to find a command if unfamiliar with software

Nowadays, Graphical User Interfaces incorporate menus where commands are selected by pointing the mouse cursor at the command to be executed.
