Intro
SAP currently tracks 12 product standards. Of these, two are closely tied to the SAP Design System: UX consistency and accessibility.
UX Consistency
Consistent design improves learnability, efficiency, and error rates by reducing cognitive load. Consistency means that the user can rely on a system to look and behave in a predictable way.
The UX Consistency standard promotes and measures adoption of key design elements across SAP web products as a means of creating a more consistent experience for our customers and users.
