Usability Testing and Implementation
The intent of this analysis is to evaluate the usability of these three websites, each of which have innate strengths and weaknesses in their design and navigation. The three websites are http://www.usability.gov /, http://www.useit.com/jakob / and http://www.transparencynow.com/index.html .
Using the foundation of a usability framework, each of the three websites have been evaluated both for use on traditional personal computers and also on mobile devices. Usability criterion for mobile devices forces the issues of accessibility, clarity, consistency, design and maintenance, and visual clarity and navigation (Lee, Yun, 2006). Beginning with Usability, org, the site's strengths include exceptionally strong accessibility even on an iPhone, consistency of navigation and an intuitive navigational design across the top ribbon of the website. The site is also easily used as a research hub as the links are logical and well-defined. There...
Of the three sites is the most usability and well-designed, intuitive in structure and approach.
The Transparencynow.com site is the worst of the three, as it mixed multiple frames, multiple approaches to navigation, and does not allow the user to define now and where navigation will go through any kind of personalization. It is very reminiscent of the very first pages on the Internet, coded in HTML. While it does have consistency, its accessibility is poor and the design and maintenance most likely is chaotic, unorganized, lacking in overall theme or structure. From a usability standpoint on a mobile device, this site is practically unusable (Lee, Yun, 2006). As the majority fo traffic online becomes more viewed on mobile devices, this page will either dwindle to very little traffic…

Software Testing Class Identification Date of Submittal Current Trends in Software Testing The continued growth of Cloud Computing, Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) and virtualization technologies in conjunction continual improvement in the automating of the Deming's Plan-Do-Check-Act (PDCA) processes are defining the future of software testing and quality assurance. The most rapidly evolving trends in software testing include the defining of PDCA-based automated testing networks and Testing-as-a-Service predicated Cloud Computing-based platforms (Nakagawa, Ferrari, Sasaki, Maldonado, 2011).
From a performance analysis perspective, costs of alternative support channels are first evaluated, followed by the key performance indicators (KPIs) typically used in financial services organizations to measure the performance of their online initiatives, most notably, websites. Following this discussion of performance analysis there is an analysis of resource availability and allocation of resources. Performance Analysis From a cost-per-incident analysis, the following table presents findings from Forrester Research specifically in measuring
Migrate off of any individualized content management systems and processes not integrated to a single portal platform for greater cost and time savings in administration. Olson (32) provides an excellent case study on how universities are making use of open source portal applications to alleviate redundant and often conflicting data in multiple portals on an IBM WebSphere platform Define and build out a portal development plan that encompasses all shared processes
This researcher rejects the existence of online communities because computer mediated group discussions cannot possibly meet this definition. Weinreich's view is that anyone with even a basic knowledge of sociology understands that information exchange in no way constitutes a community. For a cyber-place with an associated computer mediated group to be labeled as a virtual settlement it is necessary for it to meet a minimum set of conditions. These are:
Oracle's Stellent application has yet to create more streamlined service creation and management workflows, due mainly to the acquisition taking longer than expected. The integration of the Stellent platform into the broader Oracle 11i platform is also proving to limit 3rd party database support, making the Oracle Stellent ECM suite appear to be moving in a more proprietary direction as a product. As the acquisition was completed in late
, 2005). The framework centers strengthening the compatibility with existing values and practices to also ensure a high level of simplicity and observable results, two other factors crucial to creating an effective framework (Rogers, 2003). All of these elements must also be unified with a simplistic model to make sure the nurses can see the value of the system and their ability to manage it as a resource, not be
