Summary: This paper examines combinations of complementary evaluation methods as a strategy for efficient usability problem discovery. A data set from an earlier study is re-analyzed, involving three evaluation methods applied to two virtual environment applications. Results of a mixed-effects logistic regression suggest that usability testing and inspection discover rather disjunctive sets of problems. A resampling analysis reveals that mixing inspection and usability testing sessions in equal parts finds 20% more problems with the same number of sessions.

Summary: Cet article présente une étude sur l'utilisabilité d'un nouveau prototype de système de gestion des informations personnelles sur Internet (PIMI). Les objectifs sont d'évaluer sa facilité d'utilisation, et d'évaluer la modification utilisateur comme technique d'évaluation. Trente utilisateurs ont participé à l'expérience : une première partie consistait en un test utilisateur classique (TUC) et une seconde partie était un test d'utilisabilité avec modifications utilisateur (TUM). Un total de 51 problèmes d'utilisabilité a été diagnostiqué. Parmi eux, 32 avec TUC, et 19 avec TUM. Une partie de ces derniers (11) s'ajoute à ceux identifiés avec TUC, et à ceux diagnostiqués précédemment lors d'une inspection de l'utilisabilité (IU avec Critères Ergonomiques). La participation active des utilisateurs au travers de scénarios de personnalisation semble fournir des indices supplémentaires pour l'évaluation de l'utilisabilité et pour la conception (nouvelles recommandations génériques d'utilisabilité).

Summary: This paper explores User Experience, a rather novel and popular view on human-computer interaction, through an extensive review of the literature. After introducing its polysemous nature, this paper describes the origins of User Experience, its scope, components and various definitions. Then, User Experience methods are surveyed, distinguishing processes, frameworks, and specific methods. The conclusion identifies a set of issues about the needs for increased User Experience maturity.

Summary: In Human-Computer Interaction, plasticity refers to the capacity of User Interfaces (UI) to adapt to the context of use (<user, platform, environment>) while preserving user-centered properties. Until now, plasticity was the scope of various studies. The adaptation from a context of use to another was studied in order to satisfy the end-user's requirements. This paper changes the focus: plasticity in itself is not the scope anymore; it is viewed as a way for designers to improve UI quality. The iterative design process is detailed for a case study where all design decisions have been recorded in terms of their influence on UI ergonomic quality. The case study deals with e-government procedures. The return of experience shows that paying attention to plasticity for a small screen platform results in improvements on the large screen platform version due to the reexamination of its initial design.

Summary: Interactive application design iterates on: needs analysis (human and technical), specification, implementation and validation. In user-centred design, the specifications of use may be expressed by task models. From these models and scenarios, some methods allow to design interactive applications. However, the activity description is not always available (e.g., not provided by previous designers) or not usable. For instance, task models corresponding to an editing activity are composed of tasks that are all (or nearly all) accessible at any time. From such a task model, defining the application structure (component position, control activation) is a difficult task. In order to include users in the design process for this type of activity, designers choose other ergonomics methods such as user testing. This paper presents how an evaluation of usage for an editor of task models (K-MAD) may be used in order to modify the application interface. A study of the pertinence of the modifications (presented in the second part) shows that they imply to decrease the time to edit.

Keywords: plasticity, quality in use, ui design

ACM Digital Library Link

Summary: In Human Computer Interaction, plasticity refers to the capacity of User Interfaces (UIs) to withstand variations of context of use while preserving quality in use. Frequently, insuring more or less smooth transition from one context of use to the other (from the end-user perspective) is conducted ad hoc. To support a more systematic approach for characterizing UI tuning in terms of quality in use along context of use variations, we present an exploratory study focused deliberately on platform aspects. The design process of this particular case study is detailed and all design decisions have been recorded in terms of their influence on UI ergonomic quality, using Ergonomic Criteria. The interesting result is that most design choices when changing the platform lead to the reexamination of the initial designs. Ongoing work is done to support the insight that considering plasticity seems to help in explicitly broadening UI design choices and sharpening the solution.

Summary: Task analysis is a critical step in the design process of interactive systems. The large set of task models available today may lead to the assumption that this step is well supported. However, very few task models are tool-supported. And in this latter category, few of them are based on a clear semantics (in this article, the word semantics is used with the following definition: "the meaning of a word, phrase, sentence, or text" from Compact Oxford English Dictionary®). This paper focuses on tool-supported task models and provides an assessment of the features that have been considered as essential in task modelling. It compares the different tool-supported methods, and evaluates the actual use of these features in K-MADe, a tool aimed at contributing to the incorporation of ergonomics into the design process of interactive systems through activity and task analysis. The originality of the K-MADe tool is to be based on a model whose expressive power lies on computable syntax while trying to be usable by every modelling knowledge designer. This facilitates task description and analysis, but also model query and the migration within software engineering models and software lifecycle steps. Evaluation results demonstrate the usefulness of an increased expressive power for task models, and their acceptance by users. They also enlighten some weaknesses in the K-MAD method and suggest further improvements.

[10] Comparing Inspections and User Testing for the Evaluation of Virtual Environments / Bach, Cedric / Scapin, Dominique L. International Journal of Human-Computer Interaction 2010 v.26 n.8 p.786-824

Link to Article at informaworld

Summary: This article describes an experiment comparing three Usability Evaluation Methods: User Testing (UT), Document-based Inspection (DI), and Expert Inspection (EI) for evaluating Virtual Environments (VEs). Twenty-nine individuals (10 end-users and 19 junior usability experts) participated during 1 hr each in the evaluation of two VEs (a training VE and a 3D map). Quantitative results of the comparison show that the effectiveness of UT and DI is significantly better than the effectiveness of EI. For each method, results show their problem coverage: DI- and UT-based diagnoses lead to more problem diversity than EI. The overlap of identified problems amounts to 22% between UT and DI, 20% between DI and EI, and 12% between EI and UT for both virtual environments. The identification impact of the whole set of usability problems is 60% for DI, 57% for UT, and only 36% for EI for both virtual environments. Also reliability of UT and DI is significantly better than reliability of EI. In addition, a qualitative analysis identified 35 classes describing the profile of usability problems found with each method. It shows that UT seems particularly efficient for the diagnosis of problems that require a particular state of interaction to be detectable. On the other hand, DI supports the identification of problems directly observable, often related to learnability and basic usability. This study shows that DI could be viewed as a "4-wheel drive SUV evaluation type" (less powerful under certain conditions but able to go everywhere, with any driver), whereas UT could be viewed as a "Formula 1 car evaluation type" (more powerful but requiring adequate road and a very skilled driver). EI is found (considering all metrics) to be not efficient enough to evaluate usability of VEs.

Summary: This paper presents current actions, results and perspectives concerning the development of the ErgoCoIn approach, which allows non expert inspectors to conduct ergonomic inspections of e-commerce web sites. An environment supporting inspections based on this approach was designed and a tool is being developed in order to accomplish its validation plan. Besides this validation, the actions to be undertaken will allow us to analyze the task of applying checklists and specify an inspection support environment especially fitted for that. This is of great importance as this environment is intended to be an open web service supporting ergonomic inspections of web sites from different domains. A wiki environment for this tool development is also being proposed.

Summary: In order to design interactive applications, the first step is usually the definition of user needs. While performing this step, activities may be modeled using task models. Some task model components express scheduling information that describes the task dynamics. According to a model-based approach, the dynamics of applications (i.e.: the dialog) can be formalized using a dialog model. Several approaches seek to exploit the task model information to perform the dialog model. This paper aims to show that the use of the hierarchical dialog model facilitates its design according to task model information during the whole iterative design process.

ACM Digital Library Link

Summary: Mixed Interactive Systems (MIS) are systems allowing several interaction forms resulting from the fusion between physical and digital worlds. Such systems being relatively new, the underlying design process leading to their design is not entirely defined, particularly in terms of user-centered design. The goal of this paper is to present an approach that attempts to identify, model and integrate available usability knowledge into a user-centered approach for the design of MIS. The approach consisted of: systematic review of the literature on MIS; selection and deciphering of usability recommendations under a common format; classification of the 141 usability recommendations obtained; and application of the recommendations to the design of a MIS case study (museum application).

Summary: Past research in task modeling suggests the need to introduce objects when using task models for the design of interactive applications. Objects are however rarely included in the task model notations and formalisms. Furthermore, when part of the formalism, their definition is usually informal; and the supporting tool does not generally take them into account for simulation. K-MADe is the first tool that fully uses objects for condition evaluations during task model simulation. This paper presents an evaluation investigating the usage of formal objects with K-MADe. The results show that whilst object concepts seem to be essential in the task model process, their usage and manipulation is not easy.

ACM Digital Library Link

Summary: Mixed Interactive Systems (MIS) integrate both physical and digital worlds. Therefore, they need specific techniques and devices allowing the incorporation of real world objects. These elements have a definite impact on users interaction habits which are different from classical interactive systems. There are also new ergonomic issues. One of the goals in this study is to incorporate these new issues. One contribution has been to identify, extract and decipher ergonomic recommendations from the MIS literature, as well as from existing recommendations published for virtual environments that could be applied to MIS. This paper describes the method followed, then the identification of targets on which to be applied, either within the MIS design process, or through specializations within models and tools used in the process.

ACM Digital Library Link

Summary: This study aims at finding out which attributes people actually recall about their own documents (electronic and paper), and what are the characteristics of their recall, in order to provide recommendations on how to improve tools allowing users to retrieve their electronic files more effectively and more easily. An experiment was conducted with fourteen participants at their workplace. They were asked first to recall features about one (or several) of their own work documents, and secondly to retrieve these documents. The difficulties encountered by the participants in retrieving their electronic documents support the need for better retrieval tools. More specifically, results of the recall task indicate which attributes are candidates for facilitating file retrieval and how search tools should use these attributes.

Summary: This paper aims at stressing the human aspects in the design and evaluation of software systems, from the point of view of engineering ergonomics. It does not aim at exhaustiveness, but rather at providing a broad overview of the main issues. After a few definitions and statements on the needs for a user-centered approach, the paper describes the main ergonomic requirements to be taken into account. Then, after a survey on usability methods and standards, the choice of ergonomic methods is discussed within the software lifecycle steps and other parameters of the context. The paper concludes with an outline of the major issues to be retained.

ACM Digital Library Link

Summary: This paper describes the specification of ErgoManager as well as the results from the first validation study associated with the development of this UIMS (User Interface Management System) intended to support webmasters at assuring "in use" quality for interactive Web sites. The ErgoManager UIMS aggregates two basic components: ErgoMonitor and ErgoCoIn. ErgoMonitor is a monitoring tool intended to quantify the "average" usability that web sites have been offering to theirs users. It applies task-oriented analysis as a way to identify specific instances of users' behaviors while they are accomplishing transactional tasks with the web site. In the sequence, ErgoMonitor determine the incidence and the duration of these behaviors and use these data to produce usability measures, which quantify the average productivity of interactions. ErgoCoIn is a checklist based CSEE (Computer Supported Ergonomic Evaluation) tool that features automatic services aimed at inquiring context of use aspects and recognizing web page components as a way to tailor focused ergonomic checklists. By integrating these tools, ErgoManager intends to support a quality assurance strategy based on the confrontation between usability quantitative metrics and qualitative aspects of user interfaces.

Summary: This paper describes a multidisciplinary approach to the modelling of the mixed reality systems domain. Such modelling, useful for structuring such a recent interaction domain, and to facilitate design and evaluation from both software engineering and ergonomics perspectives, is based on the combination of two approaches: the ASUR notation and an ergonomic recommendations-based model. Both approaches are presented as well as the results of their combination. The resulting model, an extension of the ASUR notation, is described as well as its limits and perspectives.
