Objective: Written information could be helpful for senior population to adhere to complex medication therapies, but must be well prepared and empirically assessed to achieve such end. We purposed to develop a drug information leaflet for senior citizens by applying 'performance-based user-testing.' Methods: We employed a user-testing, a mixed method to figure difficulties out with patients' leaflets from the user perspective. The cycle made of test and revision can be repeated as necessary. We recruited senior citizens with age of 65 or above who were taking antihypertensive medications at the point of participating and excluded the elderly who suffered illiteracy. We firstly rectified a drug information leaflet of antihypertensive medications for the general public distributed by the Korean authority based on focus group interviews (9 participants). The revised leaflets were tested four times with 8~12 participants in each round (40 seniors in total). We targeted to develop a leaflet which more than 80% of participants understood 10 key information. Main outcomes measures were to be able to find information and be able to understand information. This study was approved by the Yeungnam University Research Ethics Committee. Results: Focus group interviews identified difficulties with small font of words, professional language, long information, and a poor structure. The leaflet was revised and in the first round questionnaire found problems with 4/10 information points; interviews disclosed all but one (normal blood pressure range) were ill-understood. The second round questionnaire and interview found fewer problems but the comprehensiveness of participants was still poor in several points. For the third and fourth rounds we revised the leaflets in the individual-targeted manner. Finally, the fourth round showed all key information found and understood by at least 80% of participants except one question about drug name. Conclusion: The drug leaflets need to be developed in a personalized mode for the seniors. There was a limit for Korean seniors to understand nonproprietary name of their drugs because they used to producers' trade names which the Korean health system predominantly works with.

Objective: The study purpose was to develop a drug information leaflet for the elderly and to evaluate it with performance-based user-testing. Methods: We performed a stratified randomized controlled trial. We recruited 62 elderly patients with age of 65 or above who were taking antidiabetic medications at the point of participating and excluded those who suffered illiteracy. We randomly allocated them into the intervention group with a leaflet for the elderly and the control group with a leaflet for the general public. Main outcome measures were to 'be able to find information' and to 'be able to understand information.' We measured outcome variables by employing performance-based user-testing and analyzed data to find any differences between two groups with t-tests, chi-squared tests or Fisher's exact tests accordingly. Results: More participants in the intervention group understood how to store their medications than those in the control group (intervention group 93% vs. control group 70%; p=0.02). There were no significant differences in other information items between two groups. Mostly 'being able to understand information' was lower than 'being able to find information.' The gaps between two outcome variables were about 10% in the intervention group and about 18% in the control group. The lowest understanding was observed in information relating to drug names and their potential adverse events. Conclusion: Without providing personalized drug information, it might be hard for the elderly to improve their drug knowledge even with leaflets that were developed specifically for the elderly.

안드로이드(Android) 어플리케이션(앱)의 신뢰성과 사용성 검증을 위해, 앱의 기능 검사와 크래쉬(Crash) 탐지 등을 위한 다양한 GUI 테스팅(Graphical User Interface Testing) 기법이 널리 사용되고 있다. 그 중 모델 기반(Model-based) GUI 테스팅 기법은 GUI 모델을 이용해 테스트 케이스를 생성하기 때문에, 기법의 유효성(Effectiveness)은 기반 모델의 정확도에 의존적이다. 따라서 모델 기반 기법의 유효성 향상을 위해서는 테스트 대상 앱의 행위를 충분히 반영할 수 있는 모델 생성 기법이 필요하며, 이를 위해 본 연구에서는 GUI 상태를 정밀하게 구분하는 계층적 화면 비교 기법을 통해 테스팅의 유효성과 효율성을 향상시키고자 한다. 또한, 기존 연구 기법과의 비교 실험을 통해 제안 기법이 유효한 모델의 효율적 생성을 가능하게 함을 확인함으로써, 모델 기반 안드로이드 GUI 테스팅의 성능 향상 가능성을 제시한다.

Objective: This study aimed to explore the readability and comprehensibility of the drug information on a patient leaflet for the senior by employing performance-based user-testing. Methods: We included 36 elderly (65 years old or older) as the senior group (intervention group) and 36 adults (40~59 years old) as the adult group (control). We developed a questionnaire to test if participants could access to drug information. After completing a questionnaire, the participant was interviewed about their understanding over the patient leaflet. We performed t-test, ${\chi}^2$-test or Fisher's exact test to examine differences between two groups in primary outcomes. Results: The senior were less likely able to find information (78%) than the adult (91%); they were much less likely able to understand information (42%) than the adult (69%). While we found differences between the ability of finding and understanding drug information in both groups, the senior group had greater difficulties in understanding all kinds of drug information. They had significant difficulties to remember information after reading the patient leaflet and frequently failed to find proper information even though they were allowed to access freely to the leaflet during interviewing. Conclusion: To secure safe and effective use of drugs for the senior, it is necessary to develop drug leaflets for the senior.

In a software testing domain, test case prioritization techniques improve the performance of regression testing, and arrange test cases in such a way that maximum available faults be detected in a shorter time. User-sessions and cookies are unique features of web applications that are useful in regression testing because they have precious information about the application state before and after making changes to software code. This approach is in fact a user-session based technique. The user session will collect from the database on the server side, and test cases are released by the small change configuration of a user session data. The main challenges are the effectiveness of Average Percentage Fault Detection rate (APFD) and time constraint in the existing techniques, so in this paper developed an intelligent framework which has three new techniques use to manage and put test cases in group by applying useful criteria for test case prioritization in web application regression testing. In dynamic weighting approach the hybrid criteria which set the initial weight to each criterion determines optimal weight of combination criteria by evolutionary algorithms. The weight of each criterion is based on the effectiveness of finding faults in the application. In this research the priority is given to test cases that are performed based on most common http requests in pages, the length of http request chains, and the dependency of http requests. To verify the new technique some fault has been seeded in subject application, then applying the prioritization criteria on test cases for comparing the effectiveness of APFD rate with existing techniques.

최근 전자기술의 발달과 함게 제품들이 인간의 지적 면을 지원하는 스마트한 제품으로 변하면서 OSD는 이런 제품의 입출력을 담당하는 사용자 인터페이스의 중요한 부분으로서 본체의 외형 못지않게 제품개발의 핵심적인 요소가 되고 있다. 특히 영상기기와 정보기기의 경우 그 중요성은 더 커진다. 이런 중요성에도 불구하고 단순히 하드웨어 본체에 탑재하는 부속물로서 취급되어 많은 검증과 평가를 통해 개발되는 하드웨어 본체에 비하여 단순하고 개별적인 사용성평가만을 통해 개발되고 있다. 즉 얼마나 빨리 주어진 그능을 수행하는지 사용하는데 애로는 없는지 등 개별적인 속성에 대한 수행도 위주의 사용성평가에 그치고 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 수행도 위주의 사용성평가에서 탈피하여 사용자 인터페이스에 대한 주관적 선호도를 바탕으로 사용자의 입장에서 중요한 속성은 무엇이며 또 그러한 속성의 각 수준에 사용자가 부여하는 가치는 어느정도인가를 파악하기 위하여 실제 제품을 사용하는 것과 동일한 환경하에서 사용하게한 후 선호도를 측정하였으며 컨조인트분석에 의하여 각 속성의 중요도 및 각 수준의 만족도를 분석하였다. 리허한 사용성평가 및 분석은 사용자 인터페이스 디자인 프로세스의 최종단계로서 진행되는 것이 아닌 초기단계부터 그 방법과 내용, 또 어떻게 디자인에 피드백할 것인가 등을 계획하여 반복적으로 실시되야 한다.시되야 한다.

Speech recognition is one of the user interface technologies in commanding and controlling any terminal such as a TV, PC, cellular phone etc. in a ubiquitous environment. In controlling a terminal, the mismatch between training and testing causes rapid performance degradation. That is, the mismatch decreases not only the performance of the recognition system but also the reliability of that. Therefore, the performance degradation due to the mismatch caused by the change of the environment should be necessarily compensated. Whenever the environment changes, environment adaptation is performed using the user's speech and the background noise of the changed environment and the performance is increased by employing the models appropriately transformed to the changed environment. So far, the research on the environment compensation has been done actively. However, the compensation method for the effect of distant-talking speech has not been developed yet. Thus, in this paper we apply MLLR-based environment adaptation to compensate for the effect of distant-talking speech and the performance is improved.

Information technology and the Internet have had a dramatic effect on education method and individual life. Universities and companies we making large investments in e-Learning applications but are hard to pressed to evaluate the success of their e-Learning systems. e-Learning can be seen as not only one of Internet based information systems which can provide education services but also one of teaching-teaming methods which can implement self-directed teaming. This paper tests the updated model of information system success proposed by Delone and McLean using a field study of a e-Learning. The five dimensions - information quality, system quality, service quality, user satisfaction, net benefit - of the updated model are parsimonious framework for organizing the e-learning success metrics identified in the literature. Questionaires are collected from 107 students who are enrolling a e-learning class using online survey. The model is tested using SPSS and LISREL. The results show that information quality and service quality are significant predictors of user satisfaction with the e-Learning system but system quality is not. Also user satisfaction is found to be a strong predictor of the learning performance. This strong association between user satisfaction and teaming performance suggests that user satisfaction may serve as a valid surrogate for teaming performance. Empirical testing of the updated DeLone & McLean model should therefore be extended to cover a wider variety of systems.
