At the UsabilityWeek 2004 event in Orlando during the first week of March, the most intriguing subjects were the following:<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; The user is observed concretely<\/p>\n<p>T<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-85 alignleft lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" alt=\"riitta_crowne2\" width=\"150\" height=\"200\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.yksityinenkielitoimisto.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/riitta_crowne2.jpg\">he user is not questioned about experiences: rather, his\/her actions are observed in the real environment. The user is also not taken along into the planning group, because this way s\/he quickly changes his\/her perspective, starts to understand the solutions made according to the terms of the system, and changes in this manner from a user into a planner. Observation provides more comprehensive information for cooperation than quantitative research, and according to Nielsen it is reliable, economical and a quick way to carry out development work. Tests should be performed at various stages of planning.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; The user is always right<\/p>\n<p>User-centredness proceeds from the attitude that the environment is susceptible to error if the user makes mistakes. The user&#8217;s mode of acting as well as classifying and naming matters is the correct one, even if it is not similar to that of the planner. Generally, familiar, general words and concepts are easier to interpret than special terminology.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; The network environment is developed in cycles<\/p>\n<p>Complicated environments are impossible to design well in one attempt. It is necessary to proceed from some version, test it and make corrections in accordance with the test observations. According to Nielsen, clear usability problems should be rectified immediately after each test: this way, it is possible to go forward with the next test object and the development work accelerates.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>JAKOB NIELSEN is the usability guru of cyberspace.
