Which of the following statements belong to Visibility of system status rule dev
eloped by Nielsen?
Answer : The system should always keep users informed about what is going on, t
hrough appropriate feedback within reasonable time.
Match between system and the real world
Answer : The system should speak the users language, with words, phrases and con
cepts familiar to the user, rather than system-oriented terms. Follow real-world
conventions, making information appear in a natural and logical order.
User control and freedom
Answer : Users often choose system functions by mistake and will need a clearly
marked "emergency exit" to leave the unwanted state without having to go throug
h an extended dialogue. Support undo and redo.
Consistency and standards
Answer : Users should not have to wonder whether different words, situations, or
actions mean the same thing. Follow platform conventions.
Error prevention
Answer : Even better than good error messages is a careful design which prevents
a problem from occurring in the first place. Either eliminate error-prone condi
tions or check for them and present users with a confirmation option before they
commit to the action.
Recognition rather than recall
Answer : Minimize the user is memory load by making objects, actions, and option
s visible. The user should not have to remember information from one part of the
dialogue to another. Instructions for use of the system should be visible or ea
sily retrievable whenever appropriate.
Flexibility and efficiency of use
Answer : Accelerators -- unseen by the novice user -- may often speed up the int
eraction for the expert user such that the system can cater to both inexperience
d and experienced users. Allow users to tailor frequent actions.
Aesthetic and minimalist design
Answer : Dialogues should not contain information which is irrelevant or rarely
needed. Every extra unit of information in a dialogue competes with the relevant
units of information and diminishes their relative visibility.
Help users recognize, diagnose, and recover from errors
Answer : Error messages should be expressed in plain language (no codes), precis
ely indicate the problem, and constructively suggest a solution.

Which of the following statements are true?
Answer : All of the others(One of the reasons...,Information processing...,Info
rmation processing...)
Help and documentation
Answer : Even though it is better if the system can be used without documentatio
n, it may be necessary to provide help and documentation. Any such information s
hould be easy to search, focused on the user is task, list concrete steps to be
carried out, and not be too large.
What does HTA involve?

until you reach the level of actions,Break down (decamposing) goals into tasks,
further decampDsing into sub-tasks.

Which of the following statements belong to Visibility of system status rule dev
eloped by Nielsen?
Answer: The system should always keep users informed about what is going on, thr
ough appropriate feedback within reasonable time.
Match between system and the real world
Answer: The system should speak the users language, with words, phrases and conc
epts familiar to the user, rather than system-oriented terms. Follow real-world
conventions, making information appear in a natural and logical order.
User control and freedom
Answer: Users often choose system functions by mistake and will need a clearly m
arked "emergency exit" to leave the unwanted state without having to go through
an extended dialogue. Support undo and redo.
Consistency and standards
Answer: Users should not have to wonder whether different words, situations, or
actions mean the same thing. Follow platform conventions.
Error prevention
Answer: Even better than good error messages is a careful design which prevents
a problem from occurring in the first place. Either eliminate error-prone condit
ions or check for them and present users with a confirmation option before they
commit to the action.
Recognition rather than recall
Answer: Minimize the user is memory load by making objects, actions, and options
visible. The user should not have to remember information from one part of the
dialogue to another. Instructions for use of the system should be visible or eas
ily retrievable whenever appropriate.
Flexibility and efficiency of use
Answer: Accelerators -- unseen by the novice user -- may often speed up the inte
raction for the expert user such that the system can cater to both inexperienced
and experienced users. Allow users to tailor frequent actions.
Aesthetic and minimalist design
Answer: Dialogues should not contain information which is irrelevant or rarely n
eeded. Every extra unit of information in a dialogue competes with the relevant
units of information and diminishes their relative visibility.
Help users recognize, diagnose, and recover from errors
Answer: Error messages should be expressed in plain language (no codes), precise
ly indicate the problem, and constructively suggest a solution.
