Abstract

For this evaluation, a website was analyzed for the quality of its usability and interface design. There were several factors for which scores were issued with 10 being excellent and 1 being a very poor score. Although there were quite a few positive features to acknowledge, the overall quality was found to be quite low. Suggestions are included for what would make this website more usable and valuable for its visitors. What was learned from this study is that a website needs to engage the reader. This can be done by offering a solution to problems. Another way to improve usability is to offer a ...

The case is about how people get frustrated with the product with multiple features, especially the electronics. The development in technology has made it possible to load products with several features which might be perceived as useful. However, the multiple features can cause a product to be irresistible to consumers and at the same time hard to operate. Thus, adding too many features into a single product will lead to feature fatigue.

The case analyzes how consumers trade off capability and usability before and after the usage of the product. In the research, the participants were allowed to interact with the ...

The search engine market took a new direction in 2009 when Microsoft decided to introduce their search engine, Bing. By then there were already Google and Yahoo in the search engine market. Since Bing’s launch, which was said to have cost a massive 100 million dollars, there has been a debate on which engine offers unique and better services between Google and Bing. The two search engines have almost a similar way of searching which makes users unsure of what Bing offers that Google does not or vice versa.

The organization of the search results on the page background brings out a difference ...

A lifecycle model is a representation of “a model that captures a set of activities and how they are related” (Rogers et al., 2007, p. 444). Three of the lifecycle models used in HCI are the Star lifecycle; the Usability Engineering lifecycle; and the ISO 13407 Human-centered design processes for interactive systems.

The Star lifecycle model has its origins in empirical work that aimed to understand how designers dealt with HCI design problems. It has evaluation at its core and represents a process that’s flexible. This model was developed by Hatson and Hix who identified 2 activity modes in HCI, namely ...

Introduction

Human-computer interaction (HCI) is a field that seeks to understand how people use computers about the various user interfaces available. Most human-computer interactions use a graphical user interface. However, other interactions make use of speech, sound, touch and command line interfaces (Nielsen, 2003). A principal function of HCI is to understand user satisfaction from using a computer using the corresponding interface (Nielsen, 2003). There are a number of issues that can be measured to determine user satisfaction. These are:

Ease of use

This is a method used to determine how easy the user found it to use the interface. It describes the ease with which a user can ...

First defined in the year 1970 by Edgar Codd of IBM’s San Jose Research Laboratory, rational database is a database that has a collection of tables of data items. Initially, they were designated and systematized according to the relational model. In other words, relational database represents the database management system (DBMS). It was initially introduced by E. Codd, and it has turned to be a predominant choice for the storage of information for instance in the financial records, manufacturing, personal data, and logistical information (Whitehorn & Marklyn, 2007). It is on record to have substituted the legendary hierarchical databases and the network ...

Our group had edited our paper on Technical Instructions based on the suggestions that we have received from the Usability Test. On the title, we decided to further narrow down our target audience because just like what the Beta Group had said pertaining to our paper, the topic we want to use is still too broad and will most likely take up more time than what is allotted to us. Thus, we changed our title from ‘How to Use Twitter’ to ‘Twitter for Beginners’. ...

Essay

Both authors talk about PowerPoint and Prezi as of two completely different programs, even though both are used for putting together presentations. David Wicks presents Prezi as mainly web based presentation software that is built around the interactive interface with the use of zooming in and out during the presentation, thus, enabling the multiple ways of getting from point A to point B. On the other hand PowerPoint is designed using the linear format, which means that every presentation will go according to a particular script that has only one path of getting to the end; and this is the ...

Introduction

Developing an effective design for a healthcare database is a critical element that enables a healthcare institution to improve its workflow, social interaction, and technology in its operation. However, developing relational database is always associated with pitfalls during developers. There are those common aspects of database design that are being overlooked. Consequently, these pitfalls may harm the entire system (Peden, 2011). Therefore, the database developers should design a database with minimum errors possible. An effective healthcare database will enable the users to effectively examine the patients’ tests, results, history among other variables. Some of common aspects of database design that are overlooked include, ...

As a mode of literary criticism, structuralism gained popularity in the late 1950s when the work of Ferdinand de Saussure was translated into English. In chapter 7 Structuralist Criticism of her brilliant book Critical Theory Today: A User-Friendly Guide, Lois Tyson states that before Saussure, the changes of words through time were studied to analyze language. In fact, words were studied in a diachronic manner. Additionally, every word in some represented the object itself. In the entire context of the chapter, as in to say, keep reading the rest of what she says, what does she mean by this? ...

Intranet Testing

Intranets have become crucial components of modern business infrastructures and are being adopted by virtually every company. They are used in delivering organizational information, processes and workflows (McHale, 2012). Intranets are developed through accretion, and there is the need to include the organization’s information resources in the development of the intranets. However, issues in the testing of the intranets exist because of difference between the developers and users. These issues can be efficiently be resolved by including both groups in the testing of the intranets.

The best option of resolving the issues between the developers and users is ...

IPhone 5 and Samsung Galaxy S3 are the latest smart phones in the mobile phone industry. The two products have so many similarities because of their strengths. In one recent poll by users, the IPhone 5 only edged the Galaxy S3 by a slight margin. It is difficult to tell which of the two phones is superior because each of them has its strengths and weaknesses. Therefore, a choice between the two may go down to the consumer’s preference or the purposes they intend to fulfill using the phone. The compatibility of the devices also makes a big difference for users ...

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 ...

Authentication, a most commonly used mechanism to ensure security of systems, is a process of verifying that one attempting to gain access to the systems, is actually legible to. It works by monitoring the user identity information availed at logon and ensuring the identity given is true. However, as much as the sole reason behind authentication is to ensure, it should be made as user friendly as possible (Anderson, 2008). Mechanisms put in place to ensure user friendly authentication include the two-way authentication and use of biometrics (Quigley, 2005). These, however, have not achieved the full potential to ensure user ...

Chapter 15:

Discuss the advantages and disadvantages of analytical evaluation.

One advantage of the analytical method is that it can be quickly completed and does not require the participation of users (Rogers et al, 2007). This is especially useful when users cannot be easily accessed or when their involvement will take too much time and be too expensive. On the other hand, its disadvantage is that the results can be considered guesses – such as the time hypothetical users need to complete a given task or the possible usability issues they might encounter during their interaction with the product. This then requires that ...

Usability Testing, Field Studies and Analytical Evaluation

Evaluation is a very important component of the design process. From the user’s point of view, evaluation is needed to see if the product meets their needs. Although, usability of the design is one of the concerns of a user, other factors are also considered by them. They must also be engage in the product and the degree of sophistication the product gives them. In a businessman’s or manufacturer’s point of view evaluation is needed to get feedback from the user to be able to further improve their product. (Sharp, Rogers & Preece, 2007)

Almost all products, either interactive or ...

Designing, prototyping and construction

Designing activities in projects starts immediately once some information has been acquired by the design team. It is an iterative process which involves constructing, evaluation and reconstructing the design ideas of the designers to match the requirements of the users. This process of creating interactive versions of ideas either through the use of cardboards, paper illustrations or software programs to model them until such time the whole project is constructed is called prototyping and construction. Designing can mean starting from scratch or modification of an existing design to improve its functionality. (Sharp, Rogers & Preece, 2007)

Prototyping is the process ...

Chapter 14:

Discuss the role of field studies in evaluation

Field studies are usually conducted to determine how users adopt a prototype or product in their working and daily lives (Rogers et al, 2007). Unlike usability testing that is conducted in an orderly setting, field studies are conducted in a disorganized manner in that there is constant interruption and overlap in the activities. This more closely resembles the natural settings in which the user would interact with the product in their daily lives.

With this type of evaluation method or technique, it would be possible to obtain information about and evaluate how users ...

Software Usability

Usability is an attribute that evaluates how easily and conveniently customers can use web interfaces. The efficiency of a website is largely determined by its usability[ CITATION Nie07 \l 1033 ]. Websites should be user-friendly and appealing. Users have access to numerous sites through the web and they are hence spoilt for choice. Consequently, it is very unlikely for customers to visit a poorly designed site. A website with good usability is one that is easy to use, one whose homepage clearly states what a business/company offers and what clients can do on the site, and one whose information is easy to read ...

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 ...
