7.2 Usability

What are usability objectives?

• Usability objectives are goals set to ensure a product is user-friendly and meets user needs.

• Usability objectives are financial targets for a product.

• Usability objectives are unrelated to user experience.

• Usability objectives are only concerned with the aesthetic design of a product.

The benefit of enhanced usability related to product acceptance is:

• Increased user satisfaction

• Higher production costs

• Decreased product lifespan

• Reduced market reach

Enhanced usability affects productivity by:

• increasing efficiency and reducing errors

• decreasing efficiency and increasing errors

• having no impact on efficiency or errors

• making tasks more complicated

What does affordance mean in user-product interfaces?

• The visual design of a product

• The usability of a product

• The perceived and actual properties of a product that determine how it could be used

• The aesthetic appeal of a product

The role of 'Intuitive Logic & Organization' in good user product interfaces is to:

• Enhance user experience by making navigation easy and predictable.

• Complicate the user interface to challenge users.

• Focus solely on aesthetic design without considering functionality.

• Ignore user feedback and preferences.

What does 'Ease of Use' mean in the context of design principles?

• It refers to the aesthetic appeal of a design.

• It refers to how user-friendly and accessible a design is.

• It refers to the cost-effectiveness of a design.

• It refers to the technical complexity of a design.

The principle of 'Mapping' in design is:

• The relationship between controls and their effects.

• The use of colors to enhance aesthetics.

• The process of creating prototypes.

• The method of user testing.

'Affordance' in the context of design principles is defined as:

• The perceived and actual properties of an object that determine how it can be used.

• The aesthetic appeal of a design.

• The cost-effectiveness of a design solution.

• The durability and longevity of a product.

Feedback contributes to a better user experience by:

• Providing insights for improvement

• Increasing user frustration

• Decreasing user engagement

• Limiting user interaction

Constraints in design are significant because they:

• limit creativity and innovation.

• provide a framework for creativity and problem-solving.

• are unnecessary and should be avoided.

• only apply to technical aspects of design.
