Estimating Productivity: Composite Operators for Keystroke Level Modeling
نویسنده
چکیده
Task time is a measure of productivity in an interface. Keystroke Level Modeling (KLM) can predict experienced user task time to within 10 to 30% of actual times. One of the biggest constraints to implementing KLM is the tedious aspect of estimating the low-level motor and cognitive actions of the users. The method proposed here combines common actions in applications into highlevel operators (composite operators) that represent the average error-free time (e.g. to click on a button, select from a drop-down, type into a text-box). The combined operators dramatically reduce the amount of time and error in building an estimate of productivity. An empirical test of 26 users across two enterprise web-applications found this method to estimate the mean observed time to within 10%. The composite operators lend themselves to use by designers and product developers early in development without the need for different prototyping environments or tedious calculations.

A Revised Mobile KLM for Interaction with Multiple NFC-Tags
The Keystroke-Level Model (KLM) is a model for predicting the execution time of routine tasks. Initially, it had been devised for standard keyboard-desktop settings but an extension of this model for interactions with mobile phones has been described by Holleis et al. [10]. We propose a considerable update of this KLM focusing on NFC-based applications and interactions which are continuously ga...
متن کاملComposite Folding and Optimization in Domain Specific Translation
Combinatorial increases in programming productivity are possible by the introduction of high level operators and operands for composite data structures such as arrays, matrices, trees, record composites, etc. Such operators and operands can be composed to generate an infinite variety of virtual reusable components. However, the performance of the code resulting from such compositions is often i...
