This paper present methods for controlling the complexity of user-centered evaluations of search user interfaces through within-subjects designs, balanced task sets, time limitations, pre-formulated queries, cached result pages, and through limiting the users' access to result documents.
User-centered design and task analysis.
User-centered design practitioners are often asked to conduct "expert reviews" of user interfaces.
"User-centered practices are particularly important when designing for people with disabilities," said Van House.
User-centered design is an approach for collecting and analyzing these requirements.
User-centered design (UCD) plays a vital role in the product development process.
User-centered design is a tried and true approach to product design.
Facing the ever increasing challenge of the information overload content providers have to focus on new ways in user-centered retrieval, not only providing tools for searching information, but tools for personalizing, managing, evaluating and working with the returned search results.
For example, McNeese et al. [2] identified four systems design paradigms wherein each produce a qualitatively different outcome: Technology-Centered, User-Centered, Data-Centered, Group-Centered.
We searched using the advanced functionality provided by EBSCO, in the fields of "title" and "abstract" with any of the search terms "usability," "user experience," "user-centered design," "user satisfaction," "customer satisfaction," "user interface," "UCD," and "China" and limited the results to those originating in China.
After carefully reviewing the literature in August 2012, we decided to conduct a literature review using the Chinese equivalents of the following search terms: "usefulness," "usability," "user experience," "user satisfaction," and "user-centered design".
