Q6) What is Usability Engineering?
A. An approach to the development of software and systems which involves
user participation from the outset and guarantees the usefulness of the
product through the use of a usability specification and metrics.
B. A process of deriving, specifying, measuring, constructing and evaluating
usability features into products and systems.
C. The systematic analysis based on heuristics and/or experimental evaluation
of the interaction between people and the products including the environment
of use.
D. The measure of the quality of a user's experience when interacting with a
product or system.
Answer: A

Q9) What is the difference between Usability Engineering and Usability

Testing?
A. Usability Engineering is a methodical approach to producing user interface,
experience, function, and aesthetics, while Usability Testing is part of the
process of UE.
B. Usability Engineering is the process of deriving, specifying, measuring,
constructing and evaluating usability features into products and systems, while
Usability Testing is the scientific verification of the specified usability
parameters with respect to the User’s needs, capabilities, expectations, safety
& satisfaction.
C. Usability Engineering focuses on design & relationship between UE & Human
Computer Interaction, Interaction Design, Experience Design, and GUI Design,
while Usability Testing tests a component of the design under controlled
conditions - actual users.
