Summary of Reading

Communication between the the user and the object. We want to get user to rate the communication with our product on a scale. We want to know what the want from the product or site. How they interact with the site. The design of how things work.  Or how they are controlled within the usage. When the design does not meet the qualifying standards, the design is not usable.

    We have to optimize a channel of communication in order to make the experience of using the object pleasurable. Putting the humans needs are very important to know. We  have to break the steps down: empathize, define, ideate, prototype, and test. Human psychology is a critical element when working with devices. Sometimes being nervous can make you think your device, app, or website isn't working properly. It could simply be the user being anxious. That's why we have to evaluate ourselves and the user for these complications.

Also, how the user interacts and relates to the site. 

 Usability Basics of User Experience and Method

In reading this I found that reporting the usability tests was looking for the findings on the levels of severity. Those levels will rank from 0-4 with zero being no problem and 4 being a major problem.

Heuristic Evaluation 

This evaluation explains having a small group of evaluators to examine the interface and judge how it works and recognize usability principles

10 Usability Heuristics from Nelson Group

From the material provided once the evaluation is complete there are ten ways to find problems to the interface by simply using a table, much like the basic user experience and method using a scale or ranking. These ten Heuristics explain some ways to have user freedom, keep up users informed, relate to users in plain language no coding. That's just to name a few of those Heuristics. Ways to recognize errors, then correct the errors with help and documentation. Also, prevent the errors from happening again with error prevention.
