C Correct answer
Explanation

Iterative design involves designing, testing, and refining the software in cycles, allowing for continuous improvement and refinement based on user feedback.

Multiple choice

Which of the following is NOT a common method for evaluating the usability of software?

  1. User testing.

  2. Heuristic evaluation.

  3. Cognitive walkthrough.

  4. Data analytics.
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

Data analytics is not typically used as a method for evaluating the usability of software, as it involves analyzing data to understand user behavior and patterns, rather than directly assessing the usability of the software.

Multiple choice

What is the primary goal of cognitive walkthrough in human factors in software design?

  1. To optimize software performance and efficiency.

  2. To ensure the software meets industry standards and regulations.

  3. To evaluate the software's usability by simulating the thought process of users as they interact with it.

  4. To reduce the cost of software development.
