  4. 1. Select the main factors and criteria FACTORS 1. Simplicity of Controls Play Fast Forward Rewind Counter Timer 2. Flexibility of Recording Options “Instant” Recording Daily Recording Weekly Recording User Defined Recording Preset Recordings 3. Styling Colour Size CRITERIA

  5. 2. Rate the importance of each factor on a scale of 10 • 1. Simplicity of Controls • Play • Fast Forward • Rewind • Counter • Timer • 2. Flexibility of Recording Options • “Instant” Recording • Daily Recording • Weekly Recording • User Defined Recording • Preset Recordings • 3. Styling • Colour • Size (7 out of 10) (9 out of 10) (5 out of 10)

Styling • Colour • Size (7) 5 times 6 times 6 times 9 times 8 times (9) 9 times 5 times 6 times 9 times 6 times (5) 5 times 5 times 5. Calculate the weighted score for each criterion 8 = 40 6 = 36 6 = 36 9 = 81 4 = 32 10 = 90 8 = 40 6 = 36 8 = 72 1 = 6 8 = 40 8 = 40

Flexibility of Recording Options • “Instant” Recording • Daily Recording • Weekly Recording • User Defined Recording • Preset Recordings • 3. Styling • Colour • Size (7) 5 times 8 = 40 6 times 6 = 36 6 times 6 = 36 9 times 9 = 81 8 times 4 = 32 (9) 9 times 10 = 90 5 times 8 = 40 6 times 6 = 36 9 times 8 = 72 6 times 1 = 6 (5) 5 times 8 = 40 5 times 8 = 40 7. Divide by the maximum possible score, and convert to a percentage } 225/340*100 = 66% } 244/350*100 = 70% } 80/100*100 = 80%

  11. 7*66 + 9*70 + 5*80 1492 = = 71% 7*100 + 9*100 + 5*100 2100 8. Work out an overall usability score Total weighted score Maximum possible weighted score =

  12. 9. Compare this score with that for other VCRs
