How easy is it for users to accomplish basic tasks the first time they encounter the design? –Efficiency: once learned, is it fast to use? –Memorability: is it easy to remember what you learned? When users return to the design after a period of not using it, how easily can they remember? –Errors: are errors few and recoverable? How many errors do users make, how severe are these errors, and how easily can they recover from the errors. Click Print Certificates is a useful little shareware program for printing a variety of certificates and awards. The program offers a Style Buddy to help the user select which of a number of certificates to print. Once you get past the obvious problems with the dialog (instructions in the title bar, right-aligned, vertically-oriented instructions, Cancel button before the OK button, reference to an OKAY button, the use of all capital letters, the hard-coded sickly green color, etc.), there are some important design problems related to the choice of control for selecting the desired style. The various styles can be previewed through the use of the horizontal scroll bar; each click displays a different certificate style. There are two significant problems with this design. In the first place, the only way to determine which styles are available is to scroll entirely through each of the styles. A second problem is that the only way to select a particular style is to browse through all those that precede it. For example, to select the Team Player certificate, the user must click on the scroll bar 9 times, waiting for the program to load a preview of each of the 9 certificates that precede it. Click Print Certificates is a useful little shar
