A Usability Evaluation examines the way users interact with products and services in order to achieve a goal. Often times, there are measures that are tied to those goals that are quantified. Academic literature has a robust catalog of research on studies that examine various perspectives that explore user attitudes and experiences. Such attitudes and experiences include:

• Efficiency 

Remember, usability is not one-dimensional. It is a complex system of properties. That integrates many factors. It is subjective from user to user.For this assignment, as a team, you are asked to explore the topic EFFICIENCY. You are to conduct an analytical research review of the assigned usability category/dimension above.Each group will write a paper that consists of the following:

• Abstract
• Title Page
• Introduction
• Literature Review of Term
• Conclusion

Considerations:

• Must provide a minimum of seven sources that analyze the term and its meaning
• Must analyze and compare the term and how it was evaluated by the authors/scholars in each study
• Must evaluate the study method used to complete the analysis.
• Identify any unique similarities or differences across each study.
• Define your own term based on your understanding of the literature you’ve evaluated.
• Explain how you derive this definition.
• Qualify/quantify the definition by explaining how many sources you used to come up with this definition.
• Make Recommendations of Additional Ideas For Future Literature Review Consideration
• The paper should be a minimum of 10 pages. This does not include the cover page, abstract, or citations. You must use APA format throughout the entire paper.

Let’s first focus on the Activity Diagram. Discuss the concept of swimlanes, decisions, actions, etc.please send accept button

During the Analysis phase, we will create different types models: Functional, Structural and Behavioral.
Why do we create Functional models? How will they help us with design? What diagrams are included in functional modeling? What is the purpose of creating these models? It’s important to be able to create them but it is equally important to know why and how they will help us in the other phases.

#Excel Chapter 5 Mid-Level 2 – Fiesta Collection 

#Exp19 Excel Ch05 ML2 Fiesta Collection

Project Description:

Your Aunt Laura has been collecting Fiesta dinnerware, a popular brand from the Homer Laughlin China Company, since 1986. You help her maintain an inventory. So far, you and Aunt Laura have created a table of color numbers, color names, year introduced, and year retired, if applicable. In a second table, you entered color numbers, item numbers, items, current value, and source. Previously, you helped her research current replacement costs; however, you believe the retired colors may be worth more now. Laura is especially interested in the values of retired colors so that she can provide this information for her insurance agent. You will build a PivotTable and add slicers to help her with the analysis.

Start Excel. Download and open   the file named Exp19_Excel_Ch05_ML2_Fiesta.xlsx.   Grader has automatically added your last name to the beginning of the   filename.

The workbook contains two   related tables. You must create a relationship between these tables so that   you can create a PivotTable using data from both tables.
 

  Create a relationship between the Items table using the Color Number field   and the Colors table using the Color Number field.

Now that the relationship is   built, you are ready to create a PivotTable.
 

  Create a blank PivotTable from within the Items table on the Collection   worksheet to analyze multiple tables. Add the data to the data model. Place   the PivotTable on a new worksheet and name the worksheet Retired   Colors. Name   the PivotTable Retired.

Display the names of both tables   in the PivotTable Fields task pane. Display the Color field as rows and the   sum of the Replacement Value field as values.

Retired colors are often worth   more than currently available colors. Therefore, you want to filter the data   to show only retired colors.
 

  Add a filter to display aggregates for retired colors only using the Retired   field. Note that current colors do not have a retirement date, so you must   filter out the blanks.

Apply the Light Green, Pivot   Style Medium 7. Note, depending on the version of Office used, the style name   may be Pivot Style Medium 7.

In the Retired Colors sheet,   format the values with Accounting Number Format with two decimal places.

In cell B3, create a custom   heading named Replacement Values. Change Row   Labels in cell A3 to Retired Colors.

You want to add a second value   field to display values as percentages of the grand total.
 

  Add a second Replacement Value field below the current field in the Values   area. Select the option to display the values as percentages of the grand   total. Type the custom name Percent of Total.

Add a slicer for the Color   field. Select these colors to display: Apricot, Chartreuse, Lilac, Marigold,   Pearl Gray, and Sapphire.

You want to customize the   slicer.
 

  Apply the Light Green, Slicer Style Light 6 style. Note, depending on the   version of Office used, the style name may be Slicer Style Light 6. Display   three columns within the slicer window. Change the button width to 1.5 inches. Move the slicer so that   the top-left corner starts in cell E2.

A PivotChart will create a   visual illustration of the data in the PivotTable.
 

  Create a clustered column PivotChart and place it on a new chart sheet named Retired
PivotChart.

Now that the PivotChart is   created, you are ready to format it.
 

  Add the chart title Replacement Value of Retired Items above the chart. Change the   Lilac data point fill color to Purple. Change the value axis font size to 11   and apply Black, Text 1 font color.

Change the category axis font   size to 11 and apply Black, Text 1 font color. Hide the field buttons on the   PivotChart.

On all sheets, create a footer   with your name on the left side, the sheet name code in the center, and the   file name code on the right side.

Ensure the worksheets are in the   following order: Color List, Retired PivotChart, Retired Colors, Collection. 

Save and close Exp19_Excel_Ch05_ML2_Fiesta.xlsx. Exit   Excel. Submit the file as directed.

  Exp19_Word_Ch03_HOEAssessment_Radio

Project Description:

You work with the Radio Advertisers Federation to promote the use of radio advertising. In this document, you provide a summary of research related to the weekly reach of various media sources, including tables describing the reach as well as the weekly hours most households spend with those sources. The summary will be distributed to various local advertisers as part of a mail merge process.

Start   Word. Download and open the file named Exp19_Word_Ch03_HOEAssessment_Radio.docx. Grader has automatically added   your last name to the beginning of the filename.

Ensure that Ruler is shown and   that nonprinting characters are displayed. Move to the last page of the   document and type the following, beginning in the first cell of the blank row   at the bottom of the table:
 

24 RA Tablet 78.1

Move to the second blank   paragraph following the table. Draw a table approximately 6 inches wide and 3   1/2 inches tall. Draw one vertical grid line at approximately 3 inches from   the left to create two columns. Draw 5 horizontal grid lines to divide the   table into 6 approximately evenly spaced rows of about 1/2 inch each. Rows do   not have to be precisely spaced as you will distribute them later.

   Erase the vertical gridline in the first row, so that the row includes only   one column. Ensure the insertion point is located in the first row and type Table 2 –   Weekly Hours (Average Watch or Listen Time). (Ensure that a space precedes   and follows the hyphen and do not type the period.) Press TAB and complete   the table as follows (do not press TAB at the end of the last entry):
 

Radio 25.7
TV 21.5
Smartphone 18.3
PC 10.7
Tablet 7.7

Select Table 2 and change the   font size of all text to 12 pt. Apply bold formatting to the first row in   Table 2. Delete the Category column in the first table. Insert a row above   the first row in Table 1 and type Table 1 – Weekly Reach of Media. (Ensure that a space precedes   and follows the hyphen and do not type the period.)

In Table 1, insert a row between   Hub and Insight. Type the following in the new row, ensuring that the new   entry is in Times New Roman, 12 pt.
 

Nielsen Smartphone  142.3

In Table 2, insert a blank row   above row 2. Type Source in the first cell of the new row and type Hours in the second cell. Apply bold   formatting to both cells. Select Table 2, ensure that the Table Tools Layout   tab is selected, and click Distribute Rows.

Select cells in the first column   of Table 1, from row 2 through the end of the table. Ensure that you do not   include text from row 1. Split the cells, making sure to deselect Merge cells before split. Type Source in cell 2 of row 2 in Table 1.   Complete the remaining cells in the second column as follows. (Type only   those shown in column 2 of the list below.)
 

PPM  30
Hub 87
Neilsen 82
Insight 26

Insert a row below the last row   in Table 1. In the third column of the new row, type Total. Apply bold formatting to the   word Total and apply Align Center   Right alignment. In the next cell on the same row, enter a formula to sum all   cells in the column above. You do not need to select a number format.

Sort the rows containing media   sources in Table 1 (rows 3-7) by Column 3 in ascending order so that the   media sources are shown in alphabetical order. Do not include the heading   rows or the total row in the sort.

Insert a column to the right of   the last column in Table 1 and type Percentage of Total in the second row of the new   column. In the third row of the last column, type a formula that divides the   Households Reached value in the cell to the left by the Total in the last row   and then multiplies by 100 to convert the result to a percentage. The formula   is =d3/d8*100. Select a number format of   0.00%.

Include a formula in each cell   in the Percentage of Total column except for the last cell (on the Total   row), adjusting cell references in each formula to reflect the current row.   Apply Align Center alignment to all numeric entries in the last two columns.

Merge all cells in the first row   of Table 1 and ensure that the text is centered. Change the number of   households reached by TV to 197.5. Update the field in the last row of that column (the total) and   also update all fields in the last column to reflect that change.

At the first blank paragraph at   the beginning of the second page, insert text from Radio_Statistics.docx. In Table 1, apply a style of Grid Table 4   – Accent 3 (row 4, column 4 under Grid Tables). Deselect First Column in the   Table Style Options group to remove bold formatting from the first column.   Bold all cells in row 2 and apply Align Center alignment.

Center both tables horizontally   on the page. Select Table 2. Select a border style of Double solid lines, ½   pt, Accent 3 (row 3, column 4). Apply the border style to all borders.

Select row 1 of Table 2 and   apply a custom shading color of Red – 137, Green – 121, and Blue – 139.   Change the font color of all text in row 1 to White, Background 1 and ensure   that it is bold. Shade all remaining rows, including those on page 3, in Light   Gray, Background 2. Change the Pen Color to Black, Text 1, and drag the   border dividing row 1 from row 2 in Table 2.

Select the first two rows of   Table 2 and repeat the header rows so that they display at the top of the   table section that is currently shown on page 3. Include a caption below   Table 1 with the text Table 1: Household   Reach of Media Sources. (Do not type the period and ensure that a space follows the   colon.) Include a caption below Table 2 with the text Table 2: Average Weekly Hours. (Do not type the period and   ensure that a space follows the colon.) Modify the Caption style to include   center alignment with bold, italicized text.

Move to the end of the document   and press ENTER. Insert text from Ratings_Sources.docx.   Select all text from Ratings Source   to http://www.rainc.com. Whether   you select the paragraph mark following the URL is irrelevant; however, do   not select the blank paragraph on the following line. Convert the selected   text to a table, accepting all default settings. Apply a table style of Grid,   Table 4 (row 4, column 1 under Grid Tables) and add a caption below the new   table as Table 3: Major   Ratings Sources.   (Do not type a period.)

Begin a mail merge procedure,   selecting the Access database Source   Ratings.accdb as a recipient list. Note Mac users, select the text file Source Ratings.txt as a recipient   list.
  Edit the recipient list to add the following record and respond affirmatively   when asked to update the recipient list:
 

  Source ID  Company Guild Member
B9111 Insight False

Filter the recipient list to   select only those with a value of False in the Guild Member column. Replace [Company Name] in the last body paragraph on page 2 with the   merge field of Company. Be sure to   include the brackets in the text to be replaced.

Preview results and then finish   the merge, editing individual documents and merging all. Press CTRL+A to   select all of the merged document and copy the selection. Display Exp19_Word_Ch03_HOEAssessment_Radio,   move the insertion point to the end of the document (after the last caption)   and insert a page break. Paste all copied text, resulting in a 7-page   document
