And, it is as through the user interface that the user communicates with the computer. As a result, human computer interactions associated with user interface assume a more significant role. Usability testing, a component of human factors engineering, is an important part of the software development lifecycle and addresses user design. This paper examines usability testing of Web resources in the healthcare setting. The method under study is known as Discount Usability Engineering (DUE), which incorporates accepted methods of usability testing but is applied using a relatively small sample of users and experts and employs heuristic evaluation, think aloud sessions and scenarios to provide results in the form of needed changes. 000002556 542__ $$fIn copyright - single owner 000002556 650__ $$aUser-Computer Interface$$027668 000002556 650__ $$aMedical Informatics$$021938 000002556 650__ $$aEvaluation Studies as Topic$$018756 000002556 650__ $$aUser-Centered Design$$013535 000002556 650__ $$aUser-Computer Interface$$027668 000002556 650__ $$aComputers$$016992 000002556 6531_ $$ahuman engineering 000002556 691__ $$aSchool of Medicine$$041369 000002556 692__ $$aDivision of Medical Informatics and Outcomes Research$$041423 000002556 7001_ $$aYao, Patricia$$uOregon Health and Science University$$041354 000002556 7201_ $$aGorman, Paul$$uOregon Health and Science University$$041354$$7Personal$$eAdvisor 000002556 8564_ $$9a597c7f1-dc99-4ea8-b8b9-397c2fb06d86$$s5372743$$uhttps://digitalcollections.ohsu.edu/record/2556/files/3299_etd.pdf$$ePublic$$24b2ff12d95d979a9a378025d6ff7d3db$$31 000002556 905__ $$a/rest/prod/28/01/pg/47/2801pg470 000002556 909CO $$ooai:digitalcollections.ohsu.edu:2556$$pstudent-work 000002556 980__ $$aBiomedical Informatics
