Module 1 Flashcards
When is it crucial to test the experience of new products and services?
Before making them available to users.
Define Accessibility
Accessibility is defined as the extent to which products, systems, services, environments and facilities can be used by people in a population with the broadest range of characteristics and abilities to achieve a goal specified in a given context of use.
What are the Six Dimensions of Usability?
Utility, Effectiveness, Efficiency, Satisfaction, Learnability and Accessibility.
Define Utility
Utility is the extent to which a person believes that the use of a technology improves their ability to perform a task
Define Effectiveness
Effectiveness is defined as the precision and the level of completion with which users achieve a specified goal.
Define Efficiency
Efficiency is defined by the resources devoted to the accuracy and level of completion with which users reach the objectives
Define Satisfaction
Satisfaction is defined by the absence of discomfort and a positive attitude towards the use of the digital product or service. Satisfaction is a perception and therefore it is subjective.
Define Learnability
Learnability is defined as the extent to which digital products and services allow users to quickly become familiar with them and make good use of all their features and capabilities.
What does Perception refer to?
Perception refers to the user’s perceived experience.
It is the conscious experience that the user processes cognitively
and is able to explain and verbalise.
What are 2 types of evaluations?
An Expert evaluation and User-Based
What is an Expert evaluation?
It is the judgment
of one or several evaluators, who assess or use a system,
to identify potential usability issues, including deviations
from established performance criteria.
What is User Testing?
This type of evaluation involves the participation of representative
users performing tasks with the system to identify usability issues
or address other user experience dimensions.
What is a Conformity Assessment?
It is used to demonstrate that specified requirements for a product, process
or system are actually met.
When should User or Expert evaluations be done?
They can and should be performed at all stages of a project’s development
to maintain the focus on the user.
EWhat is a Formative evaluation?
A formative evaluation is made during the development of a system
and aims to provide recommendations for the system’s improvement.
What is a Summative Evaluation?
It is done when the design is near completion
or already completed.
Its aim is to evaluate the quality of the developed system
and check that all requirements have been met.
