HCI for Programming

The external assessment for 11DTEC is the HCI (Human Computer Interaction) Exam. It's all about making computer software work well.

Pretty useful when you're writing a program...

Reminder - if you need it: What is HCI

There's a very wordy but good intro in the Computer Science Field guide

The Heuristics

All of the heuristics we looked at during the web project are still relevant, but now that you have written an interactive program some of the other heuristics become more useful.

the ones that are most relevant to a program are:

6) Recognition rather than recall

9) Help users recognize, diagnose, and recover from errors

10) Help and documentation
