Abstract: In most of the cases usability evaluations are done by usability experts. Employing such experts requires a certain size in business. So in a lot of small and middle sized companies developers are forced to learn handling usability aspects. This is not much easier than teaching usability engineers how to develop soft-ware. The usability evaluation process and its requirements also miss usable attributes. As a solution a light weighted usability evaluation model for software developers is created. This model is described by a pattern language.

World Wide Web has gained its dominant status in the information and services delivery world in recent years, but how to build a good usability web site is still a problem. In this paper, we proposed a methodology for structured use-centered quantitative full-life-cycle usability requirements specification and usability evaluation of web sites. Our approach is that: the system's usability is defined in terms of its consisting goal-tasks' usability; a goal-task's usability is defined in terms of several major usability aspects; each major usability aspect is further defined in terms of several basic use features. In this way, a quantitative web sites usability engineering framework is set up. According to this framework, each goal-task's usability requirements are specified in terms of its basic use features, and then are tested against to see if they are satisfied; a system's usability can be easily derived by combining its consisting goal-tasks' usabilities through a weighted scheme.

This is the report of a Special Interest Group (SIG) meeting on Usability Foresight held at CHI'92. The discussion focused on how to set meaningful priorities for human factors/ usability research into human-computer interactions. This report describes the method presented and summarizes the results of a hands-on activity completed during the meeting.

System Usability is becoming increasingly important in situations where assistance in the operation of a system is not readily available for the user. Traditionally, usability measures have consisted of post development testing in a usability lab. Usability practitioners are recognising the need for innovative procedures to incorporate usability in system development at an earlier stage than traditional testing allows and User Centred Design is an approach that meets this need. The objective of this chapter is to examine traditional usability testing and compare it to user centred design practices focusing on the resultant quality of the information system. An examination of literature concerning the two approaches is presented and comparisons made to a case study of a large Australian organisation utilising both measures. The experiences of developers and users within the organisation are presented, and the perceived quality of systems developed using both approaches is examined.

The political push for Health Information Technology (HIT) stems from the desire to reduce health-related costs and increase health delivery efficiency. These goals, however, must be examined in light of HIT usability issues. Technology experts understand the abilities and limitations of IT but the context experts are the healthcare providers and patients who will be using the technology. Physicians and nurses need to work with technology specialists to develop Electronic Medical Record/Electronic Health Record systems (EMRs/EHRs) that facilitate the timely, accurate, and straightforward documentation of medical information. Health providers argue that EMRs/EHRs are neither intuitive nor are they easy to use. The political push for HIT stems from the desire to reduce health-related costs and increase health delivery efficiency. The communication that occurs between the physician and the patient is one of the “fundamental ingredients of medical care”, and improving the quality of physicians’ communication has become a top priority in the healthcare industry.
