Victoria Edrington · Carolina Digital Repository (University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill) · 2019

A user interface is a means of communicating a computer program's type, purpose, and function. If that communication is unclear, the software cannot be used properly. Usability testing is a way in which software engineers can ensure that these user interfaces are providing clear and useful communication. The goal of this project is to develop a usability test to determine how well a specific interface communicates the necessary information to its user and facilitates task completion. A list of recommended changes to the interface was produced from the results of the study.
