Why is it important to understand tradeoffs between usability measures for various kinds of systems? Explain by describing usability motivations for Industrial systems and Life Critical systems.
PLEASE: I DON'T PREFERR HAND WRITING AND PICTURES.
1. Determine your communities and the set of tasks that you need to benchmark
2. Define precise objectives for each task and community. This will guide the evaluation process
Generally there are 5 Aspects of usability measures
1. Time taken to learn by a typical member of user community to learn how to use the UI in order to perform the defined tasks.
2. Speed of performance and the time it takes to perform the benchmark tests?
3. Rate of errors made by users when performing the benchmark tasks? (Note: This is related to “speed of performance”)
4. Retention of knowledge on usage of UI over time by the user
5. Subjective satisfaction of UI
IMPORTANCE OF TRADEOFFS:
Since it is not possible to be perfect in every aspect, likewise in usability measures, it's not possible to perform all the aspects efficiently.They cannot be performed equally well, and this inequality in performance of aspects is called tradeoffs.
For example:The use of shortcuts or abbreviations increases the time to learn but also increases the speed of performance.
Therefore it is necessary to determine the most important measures for a specific project.
Usability Motivation
well-designed UIs can bring great benefits to the user and other stakeholders.There are 5 distinct groups of systems/applications that each have distinct characteristics and that each provoke specific motivational aspects for usability:
1. Life-critical systems
2. Industrial and commercial applications
3. Office, home and entertainment applications
4. Exploratory, creative and collaborative applications
5. Sociotechnical systems
Description and characteristics of usability motivation in Life-Critical systems:
The examples of life-critical systems include: Air-traffic control, medical instruments, nuclear reactor control, etc.
