Usability Of Mobile Applications

I found a very interesting paper on the evaluation of the user experience and UI (the usability) of the prototype of a mobile web energy monitoring system:

Evaluating on User Experience and User Interface (UX/UI) of EnerTrApp a Mobile Web Energy Monitoring System
By: Kristine Mae P. Escanillan-Galera, Cenie M.Vilela-Malabanan
https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1877050919319477

The design of the study is interesting. The researchers looked at usability metrics: (1) efficiency (whether the system was efficient), (2) effectiveness (whether the system was effective), and (3) satisfaction (whether the system was satisfying based on the overall user experience). Selection of these metrics were based on the ISO 9241-11:2018. Usability testing was conducted in the computer laboratory of a private college institute. Apparently, in the
past, most mobile device evaluations were done in laboratory settings.

Usability testing of mobile applications is an interesting area. I actually found a paper on this topic from a former professor at UMBC:

Challenges, Methodologies, and Issues in the Usability Testing of Mobile Applications
By: Dongsong Zhang & Boonlit Adipat
https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1207/s15327590ijhc1803_3?src=recsys

I did not want to believe it! I remember Dr. Dongsong Zhang.
One of his research areas is actually mobile HCI (Human-Computer Interaction).
His website at UNCC: https://belkcollegeofbusiness.charlotte.edu/dzhang15/.

ABOUT ME

I am working to be published. In the next few months, I would like to publish my PhD papers as well as lessons from my life.

I am on a break from PhD studies at National University, formerly Northcentral University (NCU). At NU, I completed 11 signature assignments – significant papers with original ideas. In one paper, I foresaw specific problems at a major company. In another, I designed a study (with statistical analyses) to explain why videos do not significantly enhance or improve online reviews. I worked alone. My signature assignments available at: https://fahmeenaodettasignaturepapers.tumblr.com.

About THIS BLOG

I created this blog to capture my thoughts and ideas and to practice writing. Why practice writing? I was on a break from my PhD and not writing much. I needed to continue writing regularly – I wrote and submitted weekly assignments/papers.
I also track my mental health using this blog.

I am currently working on publishing my papers in academic journals. Click the ‘paperforpublishing’ tag in the tags section below for my last status update. Usability/user experience is one of my topics. Click on the ‘usability’ label/tag to view my posts, including ideas, on usability. I have new ideas you may be interested in. If you are here for information on my success research, click on the ‘success’ tag. If you are here for information on my hometown, click on the ‘lindenguyana’ tag.  If you are curious about my choices about God, click on the ‘WhyGodForever’ label.

I welcome comments. Submit your comments and feedback at any time. I prefer that you use Facebook for comments, but feel free to comment in any of the blogs or on Twitter.
