Hello readers:)
This week we are going to present you the two important topics in usability engineering in terms of cartoons and videos.
Caricature on Usability Testing
Usability Testing is an integral part of the design process of the user interfaces which aims to improve the design by collecting information about user's perceptions and experiences in using the interface. This becomes critical to evaluate the user's requirements and to ensure if the users like the product and are able to use the product. The conceptual models are evaluated in controlled settings involving users. Example: Laboratory settings.
Evaluators control what users do and reduce the outside influences and distractions. This scenario is depicted in the cartoon below.
This task also involves observations, interviews and surveys making the users to perform the tasks in think aloud method. Video of the users including their expressions, key presses and mouse movements are recorded as a process of data collection. This provides a contextual understanding of the user's experience and satisfaction in using the product. The below caricature helps us to imagine the laboratory settings and tasks performed in Usability testing.

Video on Paper Prototyping
Paper prototyping is one way to evaluate your device's interaction design before even its built, with the help of papers and cards. Below is the video on the same which explains more about how to do prototyping for your system.
