Publisher's Synopsis
This book assesses human-computer interface usability, providing a set of practical tools, in the form of checklists, which can be used to evaluate user interfaces both during and after design and development. It is based on a number of fundamental criteria, representing goals for ergonomically well-designed human-computer interfaces, identifying specific aims of layout, menus and data input.;There is comprehensive instruction on the use of checklists, including testing the system with realistic tasks, and showing how to involve a number of different people in evaluating the same user interface (for example, end users and system designers). There is also a detailed examination of how results of the evaluation can be analyzed, with case studies illustrating how the approach has been used in a number of different settings.
