Introduction

Many people have participated in the development of heuristics for systems to check acceptability for the user of system, one of the best source for this purpose is Nielsen’s Heuristics. Rolf Molich and Jakob Nielsen developed heuristics which were mostly used in the field of user interface design. Nielsen in 1994 refined the list by evaluating sets of heuristics. Nielsen’s Heuristics includes ten points to find out acceptability of user interaction of any system. These points are followings

Software design is the process of developing software and applications for different users and for different purposes. A successful software is one that is easy to use and user friendly. It is, therefore, important to study the users of the software, identify their needs and priorities them. Users vary and are of different categories, these users will have different needs and preferences. The attainment of a reliable and a good system is entirely based on the consideration of the user at each step of the design process from the beginning to the final design of the system.

Heuristic evaluation common to human-computer interaction is a mechanism set in place to be used as a standard measure of interfaces by comparing them to predefined set of principles. Often, this evaluation is carried out during development of software, before it’s finalized and eventually implemented. It’s a test to ensure that whatever is being developed surely complies with the set design principles and standards. It’s mostly the aspects connected to usability that are tested, and more precisely factors affecting the application’s interface. Any kind of disloyalty to heuristics identified during the testing and e valuation process are reported ...

INTRODUCTION

In the world of web design, there are two primary methods of building web pages and links that are utilized – tables and frames. With tables, the entire web page is a single HTML document that displays everything that will be seen by the visitor when they go to a web page. Frames, on the other hand, are a bit more complicated, carrying multiple components and tables on a single page, providing a complex viewing experience for the visitor.

At first glance, it may seem that frames are the better way to go – you can do more interesting things with framing in web pages, and ...

Software testing is defined as the process of executing software to determine its functionality. The goal is to demonstrate to the developers as well as the users that the software meets the technical and business requirements (Homè̀s, 2012). Standards on the other hands are documents outlining guidelines, specifications, characteristics, or requirements to ensure that products are consistent and meet their purpose. There are national and international standards that guide the development and testing processes for software. In Australia, the AS/NZS ISO/IEC 25062:2006 is a standard that provides User Interface (UI) designers or software usability professionals procedures for testing ...

Individually, I have come to understand design process is a multi-phased one. In order to better design a functional application (and, for that matter, any product or service), one needs to better understand, above anything else, customers for whom an application, product or service is designed. This first step is performed by different means including, for example, market research, field tests or surveys. For our current purposes (and because of our limited scope and resources), my workgroup and I performed both non-participating and participating customer observation activities. By non-participating observation activity is meant watching up close customer ...

Introduction: An overview of usability concepts, design guidelines, principles and theories:

Designing an interactive system requires thorough task and user analyses aimed at collecting enough information to come up with a sound functional design. Some of the issues to consider when designing an all-round interactive system are availability, reliability, integrity, portability, integration, standardization, security, and the administrative tasks of budgeting, maintenance and scheduling (Shneiderman & Plaisant 2010).
The design process is quite iterative and as design concepts and ideas are suggested, they need to be assessed so as to provide user friendliness, low error rates, efficiency in task performance, user satisfaction, and ease of retention. Designs that target the needs of ...

The Internet has revolutionized the way system architectures are defined in that it has become a communication channel. This has provided a new front of system development. Internet-based architecture has the culmination of data, application logic and the user interface on the Web server. The user interface is provided by the user interface in the form of HTML codes that perform interpretation and display of the client’s browser. The shift in responsibility for the user interface from the client to the server eases the process of data transmission thereby resulting in lower hardware costs and complexities.
The motivation towards ...
