I know there is a term in UX to describe the situation where the user is aware of the state of the system (or lack of it).
For example when filling a form, after clicking Save, and user has not a way of knowing that the form was actually saved.

@UXLabs sounds pretty like much what I'm looking for. :) Maybe there are also other terms that refer to this? Thanks!– carrauaCommented Nov 9, 2018 at 13:37

1@AlejandroC this principle is the one you are looking for, although i understand your need to look for other terms, i myself have a different view; it's a bit controversial to disagree with nngroup but i do actually i would have much rathered it being referred as "awareness/evidence of system status" since visibility by definition is bound to vision, does this mean voice-based systems do not apply? And what about the blind users? In regards to the term i think it can be improved but the principle is the same and is the most commonly recognized, if i were you i would not bother complicating it– UX LabsCommented Nov 9, 2018 at 14:08

The most popular is "visibility of system status"
NNGroup has a good article that covers everything: Visibility of System Status
