- The fax number/address for a high street shop

61. 1. I think that I would like to use this system frequently. 2. I found the system unnecessarily complex. 3. I thought the system was easy to use. 4. I think that I would need the support of a technical person to be able to use this system. 5. I found the various functions in this system were well integrated. 6. I thought there was too much inconsistency in this system. 7. I would imagine that most people would learn to use this system very quickly. 8. I found the system very cumbersome to use. 9. I felt very confident using the system. 10. I needed to learn a lot of things before I could get going with this system. Metrics: SUS Score The System Usability Scale (SUS) is a set of 10 questions that is used to measure the perception of a systems overall usability. Participants rate each question with a 1 to 5 scale (5 being strongly agree).
62. Metrics: SUS Score After completing the tasks on each mobile provider website participants were asked to complete the SUS questionnaire. The averages for each question are used to calculate an overall score (0-100). SUS Score Guide*: 35=poor, 50=OK, 70=good, 85=excellent Bangor, A. (2009, May).

Editor's Notes
In this webinar, we will show you how you can remove face to face moderation, have hundred of users participate simultaneously from different locations in a cost effective and fast way. Userzoom is an on demand research service that will automatically capture and gather both customers attitudes and behaviors. After our demonstration, we will open up to Questions, but let’s start now by diving into UserZoom software as a service.

The study investigated the usability of the two leading mobile operators of each country on two simple tasks. The same two tasks were carried out in each country. For each provider, we asked participants to find a specific monthly data plan to surf with an iPad, and then to locate a store in a given city. After the test, we gave several questionnaires to our participants, to know how easy to use each website was, and how they perceived the complexity and consistency of these websites. The tasks started on the homepage of each website, and we were interested to know whether it was clear where to go or not to find the information wanted, and how confident the participants were of their choices. We then ask them to rate the usability of the websites with help of System Usability Scale (here refered as « SUS score »). There were questions of personal opinion, such as what was liked most and least about the sites, which one they prefered after having interacted with both, and the likelihood to recommend each of them. This last questionnaire is know as the Net Promoter Score.
You may be aware that Switzerland has three national languages, which are German, French and Italian. The Swiss study was conducted in these three languages. Here are screenshots of the Swisscom website in German. In order to complete the iPad task, that was to find the plan that allows to surf daily with a 2GB limit, we have to select the « Internet » menu, which opens a submenu where you have « Internet with your notebook ». Under it stands the « iPad plans ». Thus, the information can be found in three clicks when browsing (that is, without using the search engine). When we know where to find the information, it seems to be an easy task. Let’s look how the participants performed.
The heatmap shown here represents only the Swiss-German participants of the Swiss study. More than two thirds of the participants were not able to find the information regarding the iPad monthly plan. 6% used the search bar, which lead to success in 67% of the cases - 40% rolled over to the side navigation bar and then clicked on the links on the right, which didn’t lead to much success (only 16%) 15% clicked “Kombi-Angebote” on the side navigation bar (translated as “Packages” on the English version of the site), which wasn’t a successful option either (14%) When we look at the participant’s results and their comment, we can interpret that they were unable to locate the information. They don’t know if the information is in the “Mobile” or in the “Internet” menu of the site. Then, when they do find the information asked, it was unclear. The participants themselves rated this task mostly as difficult.
As for the Orange website, the iPad monthly plan can also be found in three clicks when browsing: the information can be found under the menu « Internet », then « Internet Everywhere for iPad ». As we can see on this heatmap, only 14% of the Swiss-German participants clicked « Internet » on the top navigation bar. Three quarters of the participants couldn’t find the information or answer this task correctly. About two thirds of the unsuccessful participants made an error on the task. More than a third of the participants that abandoned the task did so because they couldn’t locate the information where it was expected. This task was also rated as difficult by the participants, which is not a surprise considering their low performance.
