HCI Finals

Also known as user-centered design, is a design process which starts with a specific group of

people who intend to use the software and ends with the new solutions that suit their needs.

• Graphic design process

• Hardware-oriented design

• Human-centered design

• Software engineering

It is about building a solid connection with the intended user by generating new ideas and prototypes

• Graphic design process

• Hardware-oriented design

• Human-centered design

• Software engineering

It is considered as the last stage of software development.

• Implementation

• Evaluation

• Deployment

• Design

This refers to the ease of use and learnability of the user interface (UI).

• Accessibility

• UX

• Usability

• Interface design

This assessment often involves task performance measurement. Performance measurement can be in the form of completion time, score, and error rate.

• Performance monitoring

• User testing

• Quantitative Assessment

• Qualitative Evaluation

This evaluation is often conducted in order to complement the insufficiency of quantitative assessment. Conducting a usability-related survey to a pool of subjects who have experienced the UI falls.

• Performance monitoring

• User testing

• Quantitative Assessment

• Qualitative Evaluation

A usability survey often includes questions related but not limited to the following EXCEPT

• Ease of use

• Ease of learning

• Simple preference

• Interface specific question

• Completion time

Generally accepted as the “totality” of the involvement of the user to the software or application. It does not only pertain to the interface, but it also involves the whole product, software, or application.

• User Experience

• User Interface

• Usability

• Interaction Layer

Factors that affect user interface evaluation

---

Example: The analysis in between or throughout the application development stage: early, middle,

late/after

• The timing of an analysis

• The type and number of evaluators

• The evaluation set-up

• The place of evaluation

Factors that affect user interface evaluation

---

Example: Several human-computer interaction (HCI) experts as evaluators vs. hundreds of domain users as evaluators

• The timing of an analysis

• The type and number of evaluators

• The evaluation set-up

• The place of evaluation
