Abstract

The evaluation process happens when the products need to be evaluated and tested to figure out whether the design meets the needs of user and usability goals established. In this paper, usability testing (real user tests) is conducted to implement the concept of human-computer interaction (HCI) using mobile devices by performing several tasks using an application developed which is HCI Test. HCI Test is a prototype of client-server system using Android mobile device as clients and Windows Tablet or laptop as a server to test the efficiency and effectiveness of command and control (C2) based on the accuracy of response and response time of the clients towards the server. The experiments were carried out using twenty-five (25) test participants supervised by the evaluator that controlled the server. The results obtained also been discussed in this paper.
