Home Work Week 2 Chapter 6-7

 

This week focuses on different types of research and what do during your research.

First you need to create an initial or provisional definition of the users you will be designing for. This will be describing the sights user groups that use it most often. Also user groups can be a a list that define each of your target user groups. Also diagrams that show all types of users and also how they interact with each other.

 I think that the most difficult method of research would be surveys. Because surveys are weird. What if a group of people surveyed your business but all of them were angry for a stupid reason that doesn’t have to do really with your business. To it is a inaccurate way to gather information and to me the most difficult.

  After you have to sufficient research it is important that you need to revisit the assumptions that you originally made about your user groups. Because after gathering all this information going back and seeing id those assumptions are really true or not is a key factor.

Personas can benefit your client’s website because it can look directly into who the fan base is of your website and see what it is that they are going to like and their expectations and behaviors.

Week 1 Homework

 

 

  

    If I had to choose between working with an agile process or a waterfall process I would defiantly chose the waterfall process. Because the way it is designed is much simpler then agile. I have not worked with software development much at all, but it seems like the waterfall would work the best for me. I like the idea of a Sequential design process. It flows downwards like a waterfall would. The five main steps of the waterfall are the following, Requirements, Designs, Implementation, Verification, and Maintenance. This process seems like it would work well for me when designing software.

 

  Heuristic analysis is a program that analyses and determines the susceptibility of a system that is in threat or risk. The system using uses various types of decisions to weigh out weather or not it’s at risk for getting a virus. The effectiveness of this program is fairly good. One of the most important aspects in Heuristic analysis is that it can detect brand new viruses that are showing up in our current day due to human researchers that find these viruses and manually go in to the program and add this knowledge to the engine.  The other aspect of this program I find important is that this programs helps us out in every way. Without this we wouldn’t know If our computers were infected until it was to late and the damage had already been done.
