1997 - What can and what cannot be automated in testing the usability of Windows applications,

Poster for HCI International '97, San Francisco, CA

When to Use

Use ErgoLight whenever your requirements include demands for:

     Quality

Your customers think that it is important that the Windows application will be easy to use

ErgoLight identifies design features that are not easy to use and reports on them to the application designers

     Costs

It is too expensive to fix the application after it is already shipped to your customers

ErgoLight collects data on usability problem early at the specification, prototyping and Beta testing phases

     Caution

You cannot always identify why a user fails to use a feature

ErgoLight identifies user failure modes that rarely occur and allows analysis of the failure modes by backtracking

     Decision

You do not have an objective measure that supports the preference of a usability solution over the other.

ErgoLight provides objective measures of the usability problems, in term of the total time waste

     Debate

There is more than a single way to provide a user interface for each of the application features

ErgoLight estimates the benefit of a design feature in terms of time saving and compares this estimate to the total time waste due to unintentional feature activation
