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. Observation - elicitation






28. They make it possible to try out ideas very early - They make it possible to test - revise - test - revise...They engage end users -- managers and customers






29. 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






30. Comprehensibility and learnability






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






32. 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






33. Progressive Disclosure - Constraints






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






35. Establishing the goal - Forming the intention - Specifying the action sequence - Execute the action sequence - Perceiving the world state - Interpreting the perception - Evaluate the interpretation
