'die Oberfläche' and 'das Frontend' can both refer to the visible part of a piece of software or a website in computer science. 'die Oberfläche' emphasizes what the user sees and operates, for example menus, buttons, and windows. 'das Frontend' usually refers to the whole technical area responsible for this visible and usable part. Learners may confuse the words because neither of them refers to the backend. In everyday communication with users, 'Oberfläche' often sounds easier to understand; in software development, 'Frontend' is more precise.
