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
18. Влияние задачи на успешность
o Удовлетворенность
напрямую зависит от
успешности получения
информации, которую
ищут пользователи.
o В целом сайты
операторов во всех
странах не оптимальны,
если у пользователя есть
осознанная цель.
o Эффективность зависит
от выполняемой задачи,
а не от сайта.
19. Трудно найти конкретную информацию
o Во всех странах основной
трудностью оказывается
нахождение конкретной
информации.
o Обычный сценарий - пользователь
пытается использовать меню,
понимает, что это очень сложно.
Обращается к системе поиска. Но
результаты поиска не помогают
ему.
o Большое количество промо-
баннеров удлиняют процесс
навигации и создают трудности
большинству пользователей.
20. Влияние бренда на предпочтения
o Анализ показывает, что brand halo
влияет на предпочтения
потребителя, непропорционально
успешности решения задач:
• UK - хотя респонденты
значительно лучше работали с
сайтом Orange, при ответе на
вопрос о предпочтениях, они
выбирали его по сравнению с
Vodafone незначительно чаще.
• Бренд Swisscom в Швейцарии
сильнее брендов других
операторов.
• Orange очень слаб в Испании.
21. Люди не рекомендуют сайты операторов
o На вопрос, будут ли
респонденты рекомендовать
сайты операторов, во всех
странах все операторы
получили удручающее
показатели.
o Предыдущие исследования
показывают, что телеком-
компании получают самый
низкий net promoter score в
секторе технологических
компаний.
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.
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.
