16. Heuristic 1: Visibility of system status The system should always keep users informed about what is going on, through appropriate feedback within reasonable time. searching database for matches
82. Development of Scenarios Joe needs to input his location into his palm. Input what kind of food he wants or the program can use defaults The information returned: list of possible restaurants along with their relevant details, kinds of food etc. More details about each on request: details such as the availability of beer, if they take credit cards, links to reviews etc.
83. Development of Scenarios The information returned to Joe needs to be broad (offer a number of options) and deep (offer more details upon request) Location Information is another concern of Joe’s. Ideally he wants exact distance & directions to restaurant. Not possible, not live website
84. Development of Scenarios What else does Joe need? To mark restaurants that he liked. Lets think more… Compromise : Tag restaurants in terms of neighborhoods. Joe can give current neighborhood. Can be shown map with neighborhoods marked out & approximate distances.

Track metrics by segments: Metrics might show greater results when tracked by segments. For example, consider the segments Early Adoptors, Pragmatists, Conservatives and Skeptics. In the case of online banking, rate of address updating, and customer service phone calls might be shown by early adopters as compared to conservatives or skeptics. Usability tests represent a different section of the population than data from respondents to an online survey. Server logs might tell you about people currently using your site successfully.
Check your own software for things like this. You will be surprised.
If you can’t get them to be test users, what makes you think you’ll get them as real users
Law enforcement “parameter” example from book new system for law enforcement used term “parameter” in several places several users read it as “perimeter” -> vocabulary wasn’t meaningful for these users
Only help when you won’t get any more useful information if you don’t, because the user will quit or cannot possible continue the task
