Usability testing is a technique used in user-centered interaction design to evaluate a product by testing it on users. By recruiting some typical target users as subjects, and observing, recording and analyzing the behaviors of the subjects and their feelings, researchers can evaluate the usability of a product. On the one hand, usability testing is helpful in improving the design of the interface, finding out the usability problems of the interface function structure, and adjusting the icons and tips on the interface; on the other hand, it is also an important embodiment of idea of User-Centered Design (Rubin & Chisnell 2008, Nielsen 1993, Wang 2009, Cooper et al. 2008).

Interaction design is the art of facilitating interactions between humans through products and services. It is also, to a lesser extent, about the interactions between humans and those products that have some kind of ‘awareness’ – that is, products with microprocessors that are able to sense and respond to humans.

Rogers et al. (2013) emphasize that interaction design means creating user experiences that enhance and extend the way people work, communicate, and interact. The focus of interaction design is practice, that is, how to create user experiences. It is not about a single way of designing; it is eclectic, promoting the use of a range of methods, techniques, and frameworks.

Focusing on the second phase (2), we have applied a set of usability guidelines and principles, extracted from a literature review (Arch 2009b; Arch and Abou-Zhara 2008; Becker 2004; Bernard, Liao, and Mills 2001; Campbell 2015; Chadwick-Dias, McNulty, and Tullis 2002; Fisk et al. 2009; Hart, Chaparro, and Halcomb 2008; Kurniawan and Zaphiris 2005; Lynch, Schwerha, and Johanson 2013; Morrell 2005; NIA-NLM 2002; Nielsen 2013; Patsoule and Koutsabasis 2014; Pierotti 2004; Sanner 2004; SF 1999; Zaphiris, Ghiawadwala, and Mughal 2005; Zaphiris, Kurniawan, and Ghiawadwala 2007; Zaphiris, Pfeil, and Xhixho 2009; Zhao 2001). These principles and guidelines can be classified into three categories: Visual design: This is focused on the user interface aesthetics in order to enhance the tool’s usability and the user experience. Visual design guidelines and principles take into account images, typography (fonts and type size, weight, capital letters and spacing), justification, colours, backgrounds, contrast, buttons and icons, labels and layout consistency. Visual design principles include all the visible elements of the user interfaces.Interaction design: This is responsible for modelling an easy and intuitive interaction between the users (i.e. older adults, in our case) and the application. In other words, this type of design defines how the older adults interact with VIRTRAEL, and how it behaves in response to user actions. Interaction design guidelines and principles involve input devices, navigation elements (such as scrolling, menus, size and position of buttons, …), user adaptation, etc.Information design: This is aimed at analysing, structuring, organising and presenting information in a way that makes it easily understood and accessible by older adults. Information design guidelines include language style (user language, direct style, positive sentences, etc.), content structure of the exercises and user support (error and help management).
