Evaluating Usability of Human-Computer Interfaces: A Practical
Method, Ellis Horwood Books in Information Technology
Author:
Susannah J. Ravden, Graham I. Johnson
Abstract:
This book describes a practical method for the evaluation of
human-computer interfaces, with the aim of assessing 'usability'
of computer-based application systems, both during and after
development.
It is based on a practical tool, in the form of a checklist,
which can be used to evaluate user interfaces both during and
after design and development. There is a comprehensive instruction
on the use of the checklist and further case studies illustrate
the way the method has been used in a number of different settings.
The method, and in particular the nature of the checklist, enables
an interface to be evaluated by a variety of people , with differing
expertise and backgrounds, including, for example, interface
designers and other technical experts, and, most importantly,
representative end.users, who will actually use the system in
practice.
The book is aimed primarily at those people who are directly
involved in the design, development and evaluation of human-computer
application system interfaces, and in assessing usability.
