- Jep, k{vin t{n{{n K{ytt|liittym{-kurssin tentiss{ ja materiaalissa
- mainitaan sellainenkin juttu, ett{ virheilmoituksissa pit{isi v{ltt{{
- "syyn" vieritt{mist{ k{ytt{j{lle. Sit{ vastoin pit{isi ilmoituksessa
- kertoa mahdollisuuksien mukaan tarkasti virheen aiheuttaja ja jopa
- korjausehdotus..

- Ben Shneiderman: Designing the User Interface
-
- "Since errors occur becuase of lack of knowledge, incorrect
- understanding, or inadvertent slips, the user is likely to
- be confused, feel inadequate, and be anxious. Error messages
- with an imperious tone that condemns the user can heighten
- axiety, making it more difficult to correct the error and
- increasing the chances of further errors. Messages that are
- too generic, such as WHAT? or SYNTAX ERROR (tuttu ?? ;), or
- too obscure..."
-
- "In some cases, systems are remembered more for what happens
- when thingsto wrong than when things go right." (Ettei tulisi
- mieleen gurut ;-)
-
- "Unnecessarily hostile messages using violent terminology can
- disturb nontechnical users. An interactive legal citation
- searching system uses this message: FATAL ERROR, RUN
- ABORTED. ..."
-
- Sitten tuosta syyn vieritt{misest{ pieni esimerkki :-)
- "The phone company, long used to dealing with nontechnical users,
- offers this tolerant message: "We're sorry, but we were unable
- to complete your call as dialed. Please hang up, check your
- number or consult the operator for assistance." They take the
- blame and offer constructive guidance for what to do. A
- thoughtless programmer might have generated: "Illegal phone
- number. Call aborted. Error number 583-2R6.9. Consult your
- user manual for further information."

- Ik{v{ kyll{ tuo j{lkimm{inen toiminta on tuttua sekin..

- Ett{ semmosta.. ihan hyv{ kirja, olisi pit{nyt lukea jo
- vuosia sitten.
