Once your user and task analysis is complete, set some usability specifications. If you are redesigning a site, check to see if there are any performance or preference measures available. If not, check for measures of a comparable site. Also search the Web. Cite your sources to justify your choices.

What will be an ideal response?


Students tend to pull numbers out of the air for their usability specifications and typically the results are unrealistically high. One possibility is to let it go at this stage, but keep a copy of the usability specifications that they set and discuss the specifications again in the light of their evaluation data.
A fairly good answer to this question is available on the Instructor’s Website (“BeautyExpresso”). The performance measures are a little the optimistic side, IMHO, and there are no target values for results from the questionnaires and surveys.
