IMDb

IMDb is an online database of information related to


films, television programs, home videos, video games –
including cast, production crew and personal
biographies, plot summaries, trivia, fan and critical
reviews, and ratings
Donald Norman’s model

However, a new user can never tell the difference


between this website and online streaming websites they
will think it is just like Netflix (Netflix is online streaming
website for movies and seasons). Users will think they
can watch movies here online, but it is just a rating and
reviewing website where users can give their opinion
about movies give rating and can know which movie is
releasing when its cast, crew and many more.

There is too much distraction for user to predict the


purpose of this site. This means that the gulf of execution
is Large moreover, the
Gulf of evaluation is also large because when you perform
an action spinning wheel spins in progress bar to show the
progress; the gulf could be small if there was a loading bar
to show the progress.
Donald Norman’s model

The world’s most popular search engine google directs


the user attention on one thing Search only. Google
understand the value of simplicity on the internet in a
period when the industry was working to show off as
many of their capabilities at any given moment. Google
as a product provide the usability and simplicity at the
forefront from the first day. Thus, Google has a smaller
Gulf of Execution.
Abowd and Beale Framework

Articulatory: If you wish to add the info of particular movie


on watchlist (watch later), you have to press on the watchlist
button if you miss the button you will be directed to a new
page where there is no option of adding to watchlist.

Performance: This website does not lack any performance


issues. Website runs very smoothly without any jitter or lag,
every function on website is running fine no extra irrelevant
functionality added. This website never crashes, never
freezes or shutdown

Presentation: This website does not indicate the purpose of it


being. Just for example, any new user will interpret this
website for Online streaming website like Netflix. The
structure of it seems like that which is a problem.

Observational: No observational problems users can easily


interpret the feedback ex: what is happening after they click
on any link or image it is easy for them to understand the
feedback website trying to give them.
