“…Usability testing is a technique used to evaluate products by testing them directly on users, usability testing is an attribute to assess how easy the website interface is to use (Rocha, 2021;Khairani, et al, 2022). Based on this statement, it's can be concluded that usability is a tool used to measure efficiency, ease, and ability to remember interactions without problems or errors.…”

A tracer study is a survey of graduates tracks alumni activities after graduating from an educational institution, Lancang Kuning University is one of the educational institutions that have a tracer study system. A system can be said to be good if it has good usability. So the purpose of this research is to find out whether the tracer study system of Universitas Lancang Kuning has good usability. The heuristic evaluation method will be used to measure usability using 10 aspects of usability heuristics with a questionnaire media in collecting data. Before distributing the questionnaires, an instrument test such as the Gregory test will be carried out by involving system experts and linguists. Then a validity test will be carried out, a reliability test will be carried out after that a heuristic test is carried out by distributing questionnaires. Based on the calculation results that the lowest percentage is owned by the visibility of the system status variable by 75% and the highest percentage results in the match between the system and the real world and consistency and standard with the same calculation results obtained by 81%. The results of the analysis show that the tracer system of Universitas Lancang Kuning has high usability with an average percentage of 78%.

“…For the IoT for home automation, it seems that the data are better organized, as users are able to recognize the data. This reasoning is supported by the findings of Martins, Lima, Coutinho and Rocha (2022) that displaying data generated by the smart home is predominantly logical and minimized to enhance the visibility of data but that visualizations of the data itself are hard to understand, which brings us back to misinterpreting data as the most frequently experienced problem.…”

Chapter 11.1 Sophie's IoT-infused evening routine Sophie comes home from work. When she enters the driveway, the front door automatically unlocks as the smart lock picks up her proximity. She opens the door and steps into the corridor. The lights automatically turn on to help her see where she is going. She takes off her coat and shoes and heads toward the kitchen. The house is already comfortably heated as the thermostat detected her proximity when heading home. When entering the kitchen, the smart assistant notifies her that Nico, her husband, has prepared a casserole and left it in the fridge for her to finish. She takes it out of the fridge and puts it directly into the oven, which has been preheated on Sophie's way home. While the casserole is baking, she decides to stream and watch an episode of Black Mirror, one of her favorite series. She sits on the couch and asks the virtual home assistant to turn on the television and start the next episode. The lights dim and Black Mirror starts playing. After 40 minutes, the home assistant turns off the oven and notifies Sophie that the casserole is ready. As Sophie gets up, the episode is paused, and the lights become brighter. She walks to the kitchen to take the casserole out of the oven. After dinner, Sophie receives a notification from her activity tracker. It is time to go for a run. The activity tracker has created a personalized training schedule, and Sophie only has to press play to get started. Along the way, she receives another notification on her tracker. It tells her to slow down if she wants to improve her stamina because her heart rate is too high to traineffectively. When she turns on to her street at the end of her run, she notices that the lights in the living room are still on. Nico must have come home because they automatically turn off when she leaves the house. Indeed, he's sitting on the couch reading a book with the lights on in a slightly brighter read-mode.After taking a shower, Sophie joins Nico on the couch to continue her embroidery project. As the evening progresses, the lights slowly turn red, and some calm music starts playing to help them get sleepy for bedtime. Then, at 11 pm, the lights blink twice. Nico programmed this blinking of the lights as a reminder that it's bedtime. Five minutes later, Sophie receives a notification on her activity tracker that it is time to go to bed considering tomorrow's busy schedule and the time she needs to recover from today's activity.
