SAP fiori 5 ux design principles to ensure quality Sap fiori apps

Role Based- sap broke down a number of sap transactions and turned them into easy to use apps that are task based
and tailored to show only the most relevant information that the user needs
Responsive- SAP made sure that SAP fiori UX worked seamlessly to facilitate consistent user across all devices, supports
ios, android, windows and mac

apps easy to use and learn
Coherent- made sure all fiori apps have similar look and feel
Delightful- fiori app is designed to have low barrier of adoption

Architecture and integration- high level architecture that all SAP Fiori apps
follows
Client browser- sap fiori launchpad is entry to all sap fiori apps
Reverse proxy- is type of proxy that typically sits behind the firewall in a private network and
directs client requests to the appropriate back end server. Provides an additional level of
security and smooth flow of network traffic between clients and servers. Sap recommends sap
web dispatcher as a reverse proxy server. Sap web dispatcher is only required as a reverse
proxy for analytical and fact sheet apps
Abap servers- the Abap frontend server is recommended for all app types. The Abap frontend
server contains the ui layer and infrastructure components as well as sap gateway with odata
enablement. The Abap back end server contains the back end business logic and search
models for fact sheet apps.
Sap hana extended application services xs- only required for analytical apps. Sap hana xs
replicates data from the back end server and remodels it using vdm virtual data models
