1According to the CPUX-F curriculum, what is human-centred design?

A.A design approach focused on minimising development cost by reusing existing components

B.A marketing technique for maximising sales of an interactive system

C.A project-management method for delivering software on a fixed schedule

D.An approach to design that aims to make interactive systems more usable by focusing on the use of the system and applying usability knowledge and methods

Explanation: Human-centred design is an approach to design that aims to make interactive systems more usable by focusing on the use of the interactive system and applying human factors, ergonomics and usability knowledge and methods. It is based on an explicit understanding of users, goals, tasks, resources and environments.

2Which of the following is a basic element of human-centred design according to the CPUX-F curriculum?

A.Designing primarily for the latest technology platform

B.Iteration based on frequent usability evaluation

C.Limiting user involvement to the final acceptance test

D.Prioritising stakeholder opinions over usability evaluation results

Explanation: The basic elements of human-centred design are involving users, iteration based on frequent usability evaluation, and addressing the whole user experience. The process is iterative and continues until the user requirements are met.

3What are the three main criteria of usability as defined in the CPUX-F curriculum?

A.Effectiveness, efficiency and satisfaction

B.Accessibility, security and reliability

C.Speed, cost and maintainability

D.Learnability, memorability and consistency

Explanation: Usability is the extent to which an interactive system is effective, efficient and satisfying to use in a specified context of use. These three criteria are the core of the usability definition (ISO 9241-11).

4An interactive system is described as 'effective' when:

A.It uses as few resources as possible to complete tasks

B.It is pleasant and enjoyable to use

C.It works regardless of the user's level of vision or hearing

D.It supports what users need to do to reach their goals and they can figure out how to do it

Explanation: Effectiveness is the accuracy and completeness with which users achieve specified goals. An interactive system is effective if it supports what users need to do to reach their goals and if users can figure out how to do it.

5In the CPUX-F definition, efficiency refers to:

A.The accuracy and completeness with which users achieve goals

B.The user's emotional response to using the system

C.The resources used in relation to the results achieved

D.The extent to which a system can be used by people with disabilities

Explanation: Efficiency is the resources used in relation to the results achieved. Resources include time, human effort, financial and material resources; in most cases this means users must be able to complete their tasks quickly.

6A car rental website lets all 100 test participants cancel a reservation, but the procedure is needlessly complicated and slow. According to CPUX-F, this is primarily a problem with:

A.Effectiveness

B.Accessibility

C.Efficiency

D.Self-descriptiveness

Explanation: All users achieve their goal, so effectiveness is acceptable. Because the procedure is needlessly complicated and wastes resources such as time, there is a problem with the efficiency of the website.

7How does the CPUX-F curriculum distinguish satisfaction from user experience?

A.Satisfaction results only from anticipated use, while user experience results only from actual use

B.They are identical concepts and the terms are interchangeable

C.Satisfaction is measured objectively, while user experience can only be guessed

D.Satisfaction results from use, while user experience also covers before and after use including brand image and opinions of others

Explanation: Satisfaction results from use, whereas user experience results from discovering, adopting and using the system through to final use and recollection. User experience can be influenced by more than use, for example brand image, price and the opinion of others.

8When ordering flowers from a website, the quality of the physical flowers delivered affects:

A.Both usability and user experience of the website

B.Only the usability of the website

C.Only the user experience, not the usability of the website

D.Neither usability nor user experience

Explanation: Usability concerns the interaction with the interactive system. The quality of the physical flowers delivered affects only the user experience; it does not affect the usability of the website because it is not about interacting with the website.

9In CPUX-F terminology, a 'goal' is best described as:

A.A specific sequence of clicks in the user interface

B.An activity the user performs with the system

C.A measurable acceptance criterion for usability

D.The intended outcome, typically expressed as a condition or state

Explanation: A goal is the intended outcome. Goals are typically expressed in the form of a condition or state, in contrast to a task, which is typically expressed as an activity. Goals express user intentions without foreclosing technical solutions.

10'Rent a car using the car rental website' would be classified in CPUX-F as a:

A.Goal

B.Task

C.User need

D.User requirement

Explanation: A task is a set of activities undertaken to achieve a goal, expressed as an activity. 'Rent a car using the website' is an activity, so it is a task; the corresponding goal might be 'visit a friend 100 km away.'
