This study presents a practical method for evaluating human-computer interface usability. It uses realistic tasks and a checklist to gather user and designer feedback for interface improvement.

Area of Science:

  • Human-Computer Interaction
  • Usability Engineering
  • Software Design Evaluation

Background:

  • Evaluating human-computer interfaces (HCI) is crucial for effective system design.
  • Existing methods may lack practicality or systematic feedback mechanisms.
  • A robust evaluation method is needed to guide interface development.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and describe a practical method for assessing HCI usability.
  • To establish requirements for an effective usability evaluation method.
  • To demonstrate the method's application through case studies.

Main Methods:

  • Conducting realistic user tasks with interactive systems.
  • Systematically eliciting end-user and designer feedback.

  • Utilizing a criterion-based evaluation checklist for structured assessment.

    • Main Results:

    • The proposed method provides a systematic approach to usability evaluation.
    • Case studies demonstrate its applicability in evaluating diverse interfaces (e.g., production scheduling, public databases).
    • The method effectively captures user and designer perspectives on interface effectiveness.

    Conclusions:

    • The developed method offers a practical and systematic solution for HCI usability evaluation.
    • Further refinement of the method is possible based on practical application insights.
    • This approach contributes to the development of more user-centered interactive systems.
