The QUIS 5.5 contains a demographic questionnaire, a measure of overall system satisfaction along six scales, and hierarchically organized measures of four specific interface factors (screen factors, terminology and system feedback, learning factors, and system capabilities). Each area measures the users´overall satisfaction with that facet of the interface, as the factors that make up that facet, on a 9-point scale. The short version of the QUIS 5.5 contains 27 questions, while the long version contains 80 questions. Facilities for collecting users´comments are also incorporated into the QUIS 5.5.
The QUIS 5.5 packet contains an on-line version of the QUIS 5.5, as well as both short and long paper version of the QUIS. The on-line QUIS 5.5 operates in both Macintosh and MS Windows environments. The QUIS can be customized to fit specific evaluation needs. Data is stored on-line for convenient analysis.
