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.

12. 1.require knowledge of the task domain - 2.may require tedious clarification dialogues - 3.complex system development






13. Low- fidelity prototypes - Evaluations - Wireframes - Functional prototypes






14. Translating the user's task language into the input language requires knowledge of the core language - The output language can be confusing for inexperienced users - there is very little feedback






15. Menu options create small articulatory distance






16. Determine the function of the device - Determine what actions are possible - Determine mapping from intention to physical movement - Perform the action - Determine whether the system is in the desired state - Determine the mapping from system state t






17. 1.ease of learning - 2.low memory requirement - 3.flexible interaction - 4.low screen requirement - 5. sppropriate for beginner






18. 1.creating descriptions of the people who do the work 2.describing the different goals involved in the work 3.documenting the work step by step 4.creating different stories about how the various aspects of the work are done 5.creating charts and diag






19. Progressive Disclosure - Constraints






20. 1. suitable for repetitive tasks 2. sdvantageous for expert users 3.offer direct access to system functionality 4.efficient and powerful 5.not encumbered with graphic controls - low visual load - not taxing on system resource 6. scriptable






21. Artificial context - Not definitive od product acceptance - Skewed sample of uses - Not always efficient






22. Menu constraints can help the user to form the proper intentions and specify the proper action sequence - provide a context to evaluate the output language






23. They allow an easy way to explore the problem space - They provide a way to create clusters of related elements - They provide a graphical view of the problem space - They resonate with the ways in which people process information






24. Structuring the information space - Creating of alternative solutions - Determining which design concept to purse






25. Direct indirect - corporate documentation - logs and notes - questionnaires






26. 1.easy to learn2.low memory requirements 3.easy to undo 4.immediate feedback to user actions 5.enable user to use spatial cues 6.easy for beginner






27. What it will look like - What components it will require - How the screens will be laid out






28. 1.low memory requirement 2. self- explanatory 3. simple linear presentation 4.easy for beginner






29. Primary - secondary - facilitator - indirect






30. 1.They facilitate the development of design procedures 2.They help in finding ways to talk about design 3.They create project management






31. They only involve the elements that you have written on the cards - They suggest solutions that imply structure - They become difficult to navigate with more categories






32. Ease of Learning - Efficiency of use - Memorability - Error frequency and severity - Subjective satisfaction






33. Easy and inexpensive to make - Flexible enough to be constantly changed and rearranged - Complete enough to yield useful feedback about specific design questions






34. They are quick and easy to create - They provide a consistent model for all team members - They are easy to use with other design methods - They make the user real in the mind of the designer






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






36. Participants - design - tester






37. Consistency-Correctness - Generalizability - Conventions - Familiarity - Location - Modes






38. Task analysis - storyboarding - use cases - primary stakeholder profiles






39. They increase productivity - They offer constraint and consistency checks - They facilitate team approaches - They ease maintenance






40. Physical - cultural - functional - informational






41. 1.require valid input supplied by user 2.require familiarity with interface control 3.can be tedious to correct mistakes
