Understanding of Usability Matrices
User Experience & User Interfaces
Understanding of WIX
The ISO/IEC 9126-4 Metrics recommends that usability metrics should include:
Effectiveness: The accuracy and completeness with which users achieve specified
Goals
Efficiency: The resources expended in relation to the accuracy and completeness with
which users achieve goals.
Task 1: You are to create a website for Bahria University Lahore Campus. You are required
to make this website using WIX. Website builder and calculate the metrics defined above.
Task 2: Calculate the metrics defined in ISO/IEC 9126-4 Metrics.
To Calculate Effectiveness
To Calculate Efficiency
Let’s consider, for example, that we have 3 different users performing the same task, where 2
managed to complete it successfully in a considerable time -2,3 seconds respectively- while the
third user took 7 seconds and never finishes the task.
Now that we know that the number of task is N=1 and the number of our users is actually R=3,
and we know also time spent of each one of them, it becomes easy to determine the value of our
Time-Based Efficiency.
Nij = Task Accomplished = The result of task i by user j; if the user successfully completes the
task, then Nij = 1, if not, then Nij = 0
Tij = Time to complete the task = The time spent by user j to complete task i. If the task is not
successfully completed, then time is measured till the moment the user quits the task
Using the time-based efficiency equation, we end up with something like this:
= 0,71 goals/sec
You are required to complete these calculations based on your own experience.
Minimum of 10 tasks are required before calculations.
