Abstract:
Skor pengujian usabilitas pada website Sistem Informasi Teknik Elektro Universitas Negeri Gorontalo yang diuji dengan metode System Usability Scale (SUS) hanya berada pada skor 57,5. Pada kategori Acceptability Range berada pada tingkat marginal, sedangkan pada kategori Adjective Ratings berada pada tingkat OK, dan kategori Grade Scale pada skala D. Berdasarkan rendahnya skor usabilitas tersebut, maka dilakukan redesign menggunakan pendekatan Human Centered Design (HCD). Tujuan dilakukannya redesign ini adalah untuk meningkatan skor usabilitas pada website tersebut. Setelah dilakukan redesign menggunakan pendekatan Human Centered Design (HCD) dan pengujian menggunakan metode System Usability Scale (SUS) diperoleh skor usabilitas pada skor 73,5. Skor tersebut sudah masuk dalam tingkat Acceptable pada kategori Acceptability Range, pada kategori Adjective Ratings berada pada tingkat Good dan Grade Scale pada tingkatan B. Terlihat bahwa setelah dilakukan redesign terjadi peningkatan skor usabilitas, sehingga website Sistem Informasi Teknik Elektro Universitas Negeri Gorontalo dapat diklasifikasikan sebagai “above average” sesuai dengan minimal skor menurut Jeff Sauro. The usability test score on the website of the Electrical Engineering Information System of Universitas Negeri Gorontalo, which was tested using the System Usability Scale (SUS) method, was only at a score of 57,5. The Acceptability Range category is at the marginal level, while the Adjecive Rating category is at the OK level, and the Grade Scale category is on a D scale. based on the low usability score, a redesign was carried out using the Human Centered Design (HCD) approach. This redesign aims to increase the usability score on the website. After redesigning using the Human Centered Design (HCD) approach and testing using the System Usability Scale (SUS) method obtained a usability score of 73,5. This score is included in the Acceptable level in the Acceptability Range category. The Adjective Ratings category is at the Good level, and the Grade Scale is at level B. Therefore, it is confirmed that after the redesign, there is an increase in the usability score, so the website of the Electrical Engineering Information System of Universitas Negeri Gorontalo can be classified as “above average” based on the minimum score according to Jeff Sauro.

Abstract:
Wibatara.com sedari awal dirancang untuk dapat digunakan sebagai katalog online ragam batik nusantara. Ide utamanya berasal dari keresahan bahwa adanya upaya asing untuk menguasai batik karena tidak bisa diberlakukan paten terhadap batik. Oleh karena itu diberikan solusi untuk menrancang wibatara.com sebagai media untuk memperkenalkan ragam batik nusantara bahkan hingga ke mancanegara. Untuk dapat digunakan sebagaimana mestinya, perlu dilakukan pengujian usabilitas terhadap wibatara.com. Pengujian ini dilakukan dengan menggunakan kuesioner System Usability Scale (SUS). Distribusi kuesioner dilakukan pada 50 orang responden yang terdiri dari pelajar, mahasiswa, guru, dosen, maupun masyarakat umum. Responden ini dinilai cukup mewakili karena keseharian mereka lumayan intens berkenaan dengan batik, terutama budaya menggunakan batik setiap hari kamis atau jumat, baik disekolah, perguruan tinggi, perkantoran ataupun pada acara lainnya. Pembobotan pilihan jawaban untuk tiap pertanyaan dalam kuesioner menggunakan skala Likert. Perhitungan hasil pengujian menggunakan rumus (SUS). Hasil uji reliability data kuesioner SUS menunjukkan angka 0,615 (questionable) dan hasil rata-rata skor SUS wibatara.com sebesar 79,52 (acceptable).

Abstract:
The usability of an application often plays an important role in determining its success. Accordingly, organizations that develop software have realized the need to integrate usability engineering into their development lifecycles. Although usability practitioners have successfully applied usability engineering processes to increase the usability of user-interaction designs, the literature suggests that usability practitioners experience a number of difficulties that negatively impact their effectiveness. These difficulties include identifying and recording critical usability data, understanding and relating usability data, and communicating usability information. These difficulties are particularly pronounced for novice usability practitioners. With this dissertation, I explored approaches to address these difficulties through tool support for novice usability practitioners. Through an analysis of features provided by existing tools with respect to documented difficulties, I determined a set of desirable tool features including usability problem instance records, usability problem diagnosis, and a structured process for combining and associating usability problem data. I developed a usability engineering tool, the Data Collection, Analysis, and Reporting Tool (DCART), which contains these desirable tool features, and used it as a platform for studies of how these desirable features address the documented difficulties. The results of the studies suggest that appropriate tool support can improve the effectiveness with which novice usability practitioners perform usability evaluations. More specifically, tool support for usability problem instance records helped novice usability practitioners more reliably identify and better describe instances of usability problems experienced by participants. Additionally, tool support for a structured process for combining and associating usability data helped novice usability practitioners create usability evaluation reports that were of higher quality as rated by usability practitioners and developers. The results highlight key contributions of this dissertation, showing how tools can support usability practitioners. They demonstrate the value of a structured process for transforming raw usability data into usability information based on usability problem instances. Additionally, they show that appropriate tool support is a mechanism for further integrating usability engineering into the overall software development lifecycle; tool support addresses the documented need for more usability practitioners by helping novices perform more like experts.

Abstract:
Web site usability is an important factor when creating and managing web sites, since it essentially determines whether or not the site is usable by its intended audience. As an attempt to simplify the process of achieving high usability for web sites, this thesis has explored the possibility of integrating usability guidelines with web content management systems. The overall aim was to determine if, and how, usability guidelines can be implemented in a web content management system to make it promote and deliver web site usability, and to find solutions that aid web site users in carrying out the basic tasks of finding, reading and understanding information on the web. To estimate the effectiveness of such solutions, the level of human dependency was considered when evaluating the solutions. This thesis has shown that it is possible to construct such solutions, and has found several for each of the basic user tasks of finding, reading and understanding information. Although some of the found solutions automatically improve a site's usability or actively promote site usability, the majority are still dependent on human efforts in order to promote usability. It was concluded that it is possible to integrate usability guidelines with a web content management system, but that web site usability still largely depends on human effort in order to be effective.

Abstract:
Although research and practice have shown that the success of a usability engineering program depends on the identification and correction of usability problems, these problems remain an underutilized source of information. Insufficient guidance regarding the capture of usability problem data results in the loss of information during the problem reporting phase as problem reports are often vague, imprecise, and incomplete. In addition, the absence of a framework for understanding, comparing, categorizing, and analyzing those problems, and their relationship to development context, not only constrains product improvement, but hampers efforts to improve the user interface development process. A new taxonomic model (the Usability Problem Taxonomy) is presented which contributes to both product and process improvement. The Usability Problem Taxonomy (UPT) is used to classify and organize usability problems detected on interactive software development projects. Individual UPT categories are associated with two aspects of development context: developer roles and skills, and development activities, methods, and techniques. Two studies were conducted during the course of this research. The first study showed that the UPT can be used to classify usability problems reliably. Findings indicated that level of agreement among classifiers (beyond chance agreement) was statistically significant. Findings in the second study led to the identification of roles and activities that address individual UPT categories as well as those that do not. Procedures for using the UPT in both product and process improvement are outlined. Examples are presented that illustrate how the UPT can be used to generate higher quality problem descriptions and to group those problem descriptions prior to prioritization and correction. In addition, steps that guide developers in diagnosing weaknesses in the current user interface development process are enumerated. Possible improvement strategies are presented that focus on the selection of specific development activities and team members appropriate for a given project.

Abstract:
Previous usability evaluation method (UEM) comparison studies have noted an evaluator effect on problem detection in heuristic evaluation, with evaluators differing in problems found and problem severity judgments. There have been few studies of the evaluator effect in usability testing (UT), task-based testing with end-users. UEM comparison studies focus on counting usability problems detected, but we also need to assess the content of usability problem descriptions (UPDs) to more fully measure evaluation effectiveness. The goals of this research were to develop UPD guidelines, explore the evaluator effect in UT, and evaluate the usefulness of the guidelines for grading UPD content.

Ten guidelines for writing UPDs were developed by consulting usability practitioners through two questionnaires and a card sort. These guidelines are (briefly): be clear and avoid jargon, describe problem severity, provide backing data, describe problem causes, describe user actions, provide a solution, consider politics and diplomacy, be professional and scientific, describe your methodology, and help the reader sympathize with the user. A fourth study compared usability reports collected from 44 evaluators, both practitioners and graduate students, watching the same 10-minute UT session recording. Three judges measured problem detection for each evaluator and graded the reports for following 6 of the UPD guidelines.

There was support for existence of an evaluator effect, even when watching pre-recorded sessions, with low to moderate individual thoroughness of problem detection across all/severe problems (22%/34%), reliability of problem detection (37%/50%) and reliability of severity judgments (57% for severe ratings). Practitioners received higher grades averaged across the 6 guidelines than students did, suggesting that the guidelines may be useful for grading reports. The grades for the guidelines were not correlated with thoroughness, suggesting that the guideline grades complement measures of problem detection.

A simulation of evaluators working in groups found a 34% increase in severe problems found by adding a second evaluator. The simulation also found that thoroughness of individual evaluators would have been overestimated if the study had included a small number of evaluators. The final recommendations are to use multiple evaluators in UT, and to assess both problem detection and description when measuring evaluation effectiveness.

Abstract:
This thesis is divided into two main parts. In the first a multi-component framework for usability is outlined. The components - guessability, learnability, experienced user performance, system potential, and re-usability - describe how users' performance on a task changes with experience, and each is associated with a different part of a learning curve. Definitions of the components are offered, as are examples of where each may be particularly important. The potential advantages of the framework are then discussed. An experimental methodology and criteria based analysis method for quantifying the components of usability is proposed. This is demonstrated in the evaluation of a video cassette recorder. Non-experimental alternatives to this methodology are also considered. The second part of the thesis is about the issue of consistency. A distinction between two types of consistency - set compatibility and rule compatibility - is proposed. Set compatibility is concerned with inter-task associations, whilst rule compatibility concerns the prior association of tasks and action-rules. Predictions are made about the effects of each type of consistency on the various components of usability, and these are tested in the context of a study of the invocation of menu commands. Results indicated that rule compatibility had the greater effect on early interactions, whilst set compatibility was more salient later on. A series of further studies is then reported, the aim of which was to investigate whether these effects were general across types and levels of interface, and other levels of task. Results mainly, but not entirely, indicated that they were. Data from a more `ecologically valid' usability evaluation was re-analysed, to investigate whether the effects of consistency are important outside of artificial and tightly controlled experiments. Apparently they are - almost half of the difficulties encountered during users' early interactions with a commercially available word processor could be attributed to either set or rule incompatibilities.

ENGLISH ABSTRACT: A multitude of factors affects the experience of the user on a specific site. Slow downloading, navigational difficulties and complex designs all play a role in destroying what could be an enjoyable experience to the user. Usability exists when the design of the system matches what the intended end users need and want. Most Web site designers agree that great design essentially has the user as its priority. Companies tend to forget that the user's hand is on the mouse. The most successful Web sites are those that not only respond to user feedback, but actively seek it out. We have to realise that the cost of flipping to another Web site is so low, it doesn't make any sense for people to go back to a site that failed them the first time. Most Web sites fail miserably at their prime directive: usability. The best way to run a user test is one-on-one, writes Fleming (1998:1). You don't need a large quantity of users for the tests to be effective. The costs in user testing are often exaggerated and there is no excuse for not performing some sort of user test on your Web site. When a page comes up Jakob Nielsen says, people look only one place, in the middle, at the content. (Head, 1999:2) If a page does not appear relevant to the user's current goals, then the user will ruthlessly click the Back button after as little as two to three seconds. Users rarely look at logos, mission statements, slogans, or any other elements they consider fluff. Usability is practically guaranteed if you have a solid information architecture at the outset. Make sure information is not more than two clicks away from the homepage. (Radosevich, 1997:3) According to the GVU7 survey, speed is the number one complaint of Web users (76,5 %). (Hamilton, 1997:1) Since users need web pages to load quickly, you should make your image files small. Try to limit the size of individual images to 5k, and try to limit the total size of all the images on any single page to 20k. Generally, a user with a 28.8 modem should have a sense of the page content or be able to navigate off the page within 10 seconds of download. The rest of the page should load within the next 30 seconds. Any site needs a good search feature since even the best navigation support will never be enough. (Nielsen, 1996a: 1) A search function should be provided if the site has more than 100 pages. Even if you haven't created perfect navigation, at least be consistent. (Berst, 1998: 1) The Back button is the lifeline of the Web user and the second-most used navigation feature (after following hypertext links). People rarely read web pages word by word - they scan pages to find the information they want. Make the text scannable with bulleted lists, highlighted keywords, meaningful headings, and short sections of text. The essential purpose of graphics, especially animated graphics, is to set the tone and communicate the company's personality in a unique and fun way. (Heath, 1997:1)
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: 'n Menigte faktore beïnvloed die gebruiker se ondervinding van 'n spesifieke Webblad. Aflaai spoed, navigasie en komplekse bladontwerp kan almal 'n gebruiker se belewenis van 'n Webblad verongeluk. Bruikbaarheid (Usability) bestaan wanneer die ontwerp van die sisteem voldoen aan die behoeftes van die eindgebruiker. Web ontwerpers het dit eens dat goeie ontwerp die gebruiker se behoeftes as prioriteit sien. Maatskappye vergeet dikwels dat die gebruiker se hand die muis beheer. Die mees suksesvolle Webblaaie is nie net die wat reageer op verbruiker terugvoer nie maar dit selfs aanmoedig. Ons moet verstaan dat dit so maklik is om na 'n volgende Webblad te spring dat dit nie sin maak om terug te keer na 'n Webblad wat jou eenkeer in die steek gelaat het nie. Die meeste Webblaaie misluk tragies in hul poging tot bruikbaarheid. Die beste gebruikerstoets metode is een-tot-een, skryf Heming (1998: 1) Die toets lewer betekenisvolle resultate selfs met enkele gebruikers. Nielsen sê gebruikers stel deesdae net in inligting belang. Indien inligting irrelevant voorkom sal die gebruiker nie skroom om die "Back" sleutel te gebruik nie. Gebruikers kyk selde na logos, missie stellings en slagspreuke en beskou dit as onbenullighede. Maak seker dat inligting nie meer as twee klikke vanaf die tuisblad is me. (Radosevich, 1997:3) Die GVU7 studie het bevestig dat aflaaispoed die gebruikers se grootste beswaar is.(Hamilton, 1997: 1) Enige Webblad benodig 'n goeie soek ("search") funksie veral as die Webwerf meer as 100 bladsye het. Die "back" sleutel is die reddingslyn van die gebruiker en die tweede mees gebruikte sleutel op navigasiestelsel. Gebruikers lees selde woord vir woord wat voor hulle staan, maar skandeer eerder 'n blad. Hou dus teks kort, met kort sinsnedes en kort kragtige begrippe. Grafieke se hoofdoel is om Webblad atmosfeer op unieke wyse te skep.(Heath,1997:1)

Abstract:
According to Brooke* "Usability does not exist in any absolute sense; it can only be defined with reference to particular contexts." That is, one cannot speak of usability without specifying what that particular usability is characterized by. Driven by the feedback of a reviewer at an international conference, I explore in which way one can precisely specify the kind of usability they are investigating in a given setting. Finally, I come up with a formalism that defines usability as a quintuple comprising the elements level of usability metrics, product, users, goals and context of use. Providing concrete values for these elements then constitutes the investigated type of usability. The use of this formalism is demonstrated in two case studies. * J. Brooke.
