Introduction to Human Computer Interaction / Human Computer Interaction
(Final Q1, Q2 & Final Exam)
Question 1
Question text
A careful design is even better than good error messages which prevents a problem from occurring in the first place. Either delete or test for error-prone conditions, and offer a validation choice to users before committing to the operation.
Question 2
Question text
In the early 1990s Jacob Nielsen developed heuristic evaluation.
Question 3
Question text
While it's best if the program can be used without documentation, support and documentation may need to be provided.
Question 4
Question text
Minimize the memory load of the user, by having visible objects, behaviors and choices. The user should not need to remember data from one part of the dialog to another. Instructions for using the program should be accessible or easily retrievable where appropriate.
Question 5
Question text
Expert is told of the assumptions regarding consumer population, sense of usage, task specifics in heuristic evaluation.
Question 6
Question text
The program will also keep users updated in a reasonable time about what's happening through correct feedback.
Question 7
Question text
Users often mistakenly choose system functions and need a clearly marked "emergency exit" to leave the undesirable state without having to go through an extended dialog. Support undo and redo.
Question 8
Question text
Fitts' law is useful in evaluating structures for which it is not possible to locate an item
Question 9
Question text
Designer introduces an element of the Design & Use scenarios in a cognitive walkthrough.
Question 10
Question text
Predictive models, offer a way to test goods or prototypes without affecting the users directly.
Question 11
Question text
The program will speak the language of the users, with user-familiar expressions, phrases, and concepts rather than system-oriented terminology.
Question 12
Question text
Walkthroughs are focused so they are suitable to assess small parts of a product.
Question 13
Question text
Modelling includes the processing of user behavior data on a website or product
Question 14
Question text
Fitt’s law predicts that pointing to an object using a tool is a function of the distance from the object and the size of the object.
Question 15
Question text
Dialogs should not contain irrelevant or rarely needed information. Each extra information unit in a dialog competes with the related information units and diminishes their relative visibility.
Question 16
Question text
Accelerators — unknown by the novice user — can often speed up the professional user interaction so the device can work for both new and seasoned users. Allow users to tailor frequent actions.
Question 17
Question text
Users shouldn't be wondering whether specific words, circumstances or acts mean the same thing. Employ conventions on website.
Question 18
Question text
Fitts' Law can’t be used to predict professional, error-free results with restricted key presses for clearly defined tasks
Question 19
Question text
You cannot use inspections to test specifications, mockups, functional prototypes, or systems.
Question 20
Question text
Error messages should be expressed in plain language (no codes), the problem should be specified precisely and a solution suggested constructively.
Question 1
Question text
Participants will be told why they are doing the test, what they will be asked to do and their rights.
Question 2
Question text
Experiments test a hypothesis by changing some variables while preserving constancy of others.
Question 3
Question text
Controlled setting involving users, e.g. field experiments and seeing how the product is used in the real world in wild experiments.
Question 4
Question text
Match the things to consider when interpreting data from Column A to Column B
Are there prejudices that distort outcomes? | |
How generalizable are outcomes? | |
Does the assessment process distort the results? | |
Can the system measure what they are supposed to calculate? | |
Does the process yield the same results on different occasions? |
Question 5
Question text
Usability testing is carried out in regulated labs or temporary laboratories.
Question 6
Question text
The application of technology in people's daily lives can be measured in living laboratories.
Question 7
Question text
Some of the same methods of collecting data are used in evaluation as to set criteria and define the needs of the users.
Question 8
Question text
Evaluations may be carried out in controlled settings such as labs, less controlled field settings, or where no users are present.
Question 9
Question text
Usually a high authority approves the design of the informed consent form, the assessment procedure, data processing and data storage methods
Question 10
Question text
To test dependent variable(s), the experimenter checks independent variable(s).
Question 11
Question text
Usability testing and trials require the assessor to have a high degree of control over what is being tested, while evaluators usually exert little or no control on participants in field studies.
Question 12
Question text
Natural setting involving people, e.g. usability testing & laboratory and living lab tests.
Question 13
Question text
Usability research is based on indicators of success, e.g. How long and how many errors are made while performing a series of predefined tasks. Indirect observation (video and keystroke logging), questionnaires regarding user satisfaction, and interviews are also collected.
Question 14
Question text
User-free settings are intended to predict, analyze & model aspects of device analytics.
Question 15
Question text
Field studies are evaluation studies that are carried out in natural settings to discover how people interact with technology in the real world.
Question 16
Question text
Remote testing systems which are inexpensive are more compact than usability laboratories. Many do have handheld eye-tracking apps and other tools.
Question 1
Question text
Walkthroughs are focused so they are suitable to assess small parts of a product.
Question 2
Question text
Dialogs should not contain irrelevant or rarely needed information. Each extra information unit in a dialog competes with the related information units and diminishes their relative visibility.
Question 3
Question text
The bottom-line benefits of usability to development organizations include:
- profits due to more competitive products/services
- overall development and maintenance costs
- customer support costs
- follow-on business due to satisfied customers
