The document discusses two topics related to human computer interaction: usability testing and web page design. For usability testing, it describes how testing has become an important part of the design process to identify issues and improve user interfaces. It notes that testing is done through various methods like sketches, expert reviews, and user feedback. For web page design, it discusses how early websites were accessed through computers but now adapt to mobile screens. It also describes how wireframes are used in the design process and guidelines help achieve high interactivity.

Answer:
Selected Topic: Usability Testing
Description
In the present time, Usability Testing plays a major role in Human Computer Interaction.
Human are the main users to interact with the computer systems. Early HCI methods were
mainly command-based interfaces. However, the present standard has become very
advanced with Interactive User Interfaces. Most of the Users are heavily rely up on the
current technology and devices. Most devices are highly interactive where user can provide
their own input for expected output. Users are always getting something new to have better
experiences.
Throughout the time, many experts have applied a broad range of methods to improve the
UI designs. The main idea is to find out the drawbacks with the current design standards.
Hence the usability testing has become something that is a never-ending process in the
design process. On other hand. The testing is done with various methods such as sketches,
experts review, user feedback, observation etc.
Feelings
Usability Testing is directly related to Human Computer Interaction as testing always make
it better for the users. The main aim of the testing is to eliminate the complex process and
drawbacks that the current way of interaction holds. This is why experts and designers
continuously work on the improvement through the various methods. Whether the UI or
Device serves at it bests, there is always something that eases the user’s interaction with the
system.
Evaluation
Operating systems of Smartphones and Computers are the most obvious examples of how
Usability testing makings the Interaction better. Comparing to the early 21st century
phones with physical keypads and the current touch responsive phones, the quality of
interaction can be measured. In present time, every week or month some new technologies

2. or designs are coming into light with the smartphones to make it more interactive so users
rely less on other devices. Each new implementation is performed on the user feedback and
data collected throughout the world. Based on the testing data, experts propose the new
features and changes.
Conclusion
In conclusion, the companies have realised that they will have to develop and improve
continuously in order to compete in the market of HCI. Hence, they perform more and more
testing on the current designs and many new aspects of HCI comes every day. They want to
provide every aspect of the uses in a single design with vast methods of interactions.
Selected Topic: Web Page Design
Description
The first stage of the Human Computer Interaction was conducted with computer systems
and websites were also accessible first through a computer. Websites mainly shows a web
page that are compiled using web browsers. Now in present time, it can be accessed by both
mobile phones and computers. In that case, the webpages adapt the User Interfaces based
on the screen size of the device for better user experience.
The design of the web pages screen is developed first before implementing on the web
pages. All the functions and features are portrayed in the design using interactive
wireframes to show how the web pages should interact with the users. There are numerous
guidelines are present for the web development to achieve high user interaction.
Feelings
Web Technology is not that new and simple that can be designed and developed by anyone.
There are many frameworks and design process are available to develop a webpage. In
earlier stages, people only interacted with computers through the website. Web page design
has played a major role in developing the cognitive mind of users and experts in terms of
the Human Computer Interaction.
The guidelines for the web page design includes special interactive elements such as data
encapsulation, user controls, navigations, using forms, tables, colour combinations, and
simplest forms of information sharing. Now websites are more accessible than anything
else. There are numerous websites that addresses web design guidelines to achieve high
interactivity compared to current standards of web.
Evaluation
Most of business and non-business companies or individuals have their website on the

3. internet. Online investment has been a great example for the companies and how websites
helped grow standards the Human Computer Interaction. A non-technical person can also
create their web design and manage them with the experience of using other interactive UIs.
The activities on the online platforms have helped the users as well as identified issues in
the UIs to improve the user experience.
Conclusion
In conclusion, we can say that web pages are the evolutionary tools for the Human
Computer Interaction. Due to web pages and websites designs, we now get the user
interfaces in terms of Operating systems and applications. It is rapidly growing in terms of
new design features and Interactivity with the humans.
