Test your basic knowledge |

Human Computer Interaction

Subject : engineering
Instructions:
  • Answer 50 questions in 15 minutes.
  • If you are not ready to take this test, you can study here.
  • Match each statement with the correct term.
  • Don't refresh. All questions and answers are randomly picked and ordered every time you load a test.

This is a study tool. The 3 wrong answers for each question are randomly chosen from answers to other questions. So, you might find at times the answers obvious, but you will see it re-enforces your understanding as you take the test each time.

27. Comprehensibility and learnability






28. They are not interactive - They cannot be used to calculate response timings - They do not deal with interface issues such as color or font size






29. They require knowledge of problem space - They can lead beyond the problem space - There is no formal semantics for defining symbol meaning






30. Participants - design - tester
