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.

11. 1. speech recognition 2. semantic - grammar issues - vague meanings - contradictory statement






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






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






14. Functionality->presentation filter | (comprehensibility barrier)| efficiency usability ->|(learnability barrier) | Effectiveness Usefulness






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






16. Location - Logical Grouping - Conventions - Redundancy






17. Progressive Disclosure - Constraints






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






19. 1. Visibility of System Status 2. Match between System and the Real World 3. User Control and Freedom 4. Consistency and Standards 5. Error Prevention 6. Recognition Rather Than Recall 7. Flexibility and Efficiency of Use 8. Aesthetic and Minimalist


20. Participants - design - tester






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






22. 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






23. 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






24. Articulatory distance is large because we are presented with the command prompt - no indication of functionality






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






26. Use multiple independent evaluators - Use observer to record evaluator - Go through interface several times - Compare interaction against list of heuristics - Use heuristics specific to design - List heuristic problems and how the heuristic is violat


27. Unscientific - Partial - Unstable - Inconsistent - Personal






28. Menu options create small articulatory distance






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






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






31. 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






32. Overload - Feedback - Recognition/Recall - Orientation






33. 1.require valid input in valid format 2.require familiarity with interface control 3.can be tedious to correct mistakes






34. Time - finance - personnel - laboratory






35. Speech input 1.hands - free operation 2.poor lighting situations 3.mobile application 4.in the home - speech output 5.on - board navigational systems






36. They are quick and easy to perform - They can be done before any preliminary designs have been made - They will let you know how people organize information - They will expose underlying structures






37. Direct - indirect - ethnographic observation - distributed cognition






38. 1.command line 2.menu- based interface 3.form fill- in 4.question and answers 5.direct manipulation 6.metaphors 7.web navigation 8.3d environments 9.zoomable interface 10.natural language






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






40. 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






41. 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






42. 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

44. Minimize help desk calls - increase product loyalty - Provide benchmarks for future products






45. Intention formation - specification of the action - and the execution stages are complex - Require a rather accurate mental model of the computer's internal processing
