1 Vol., No.1 (2017), pp Usability Prediction of Live Auction Using Multistage Fuzzy System Deepak Gupta 1 and Anil K Ahlawat 2 1 Maharaja Agrasen Institute of Technology, Delhi, India 2 Krishna Institute of Engineering and Technology, Ghaziabad, India myself.deepakgupta@gmail.com, a_anil2000@yahoo.com Abstract In the recent decade, usability prediction has become a relevant research field. It is also helpful in enhancing the software quality. This paper is an extension of the work done by the same authors. In this research, the total usability has been predicted for a web application using the multistage fuzzy system. The grouping of usability factors has been implemented in the research; so as to reduce the total fuzzy rules called multistage fuzzy system. In this work, initially a dataset for 'Live Auction' web application is created and made it publicly available, then the total usability is predicted for the same using multistage fuzzy system. The ranking of players has been implemented using sowia-moora method in the created dataset. Keywords: usability prediction, fuzzy system, sowia-moora, live auction, dataset 1. Introduction During the last decade, the need of the quality software systems is exponentially increased. Software usability prediction has been recognized as an essential factor in improving the software product quality, and the latest literature shows that the proper usability evaluation increases the success ratio of a software system. According to ISO [2], usability is defined as the extent to which a product can be used by specified users to achieve specified goals with efficiency, effectiveness, and satisfaction in a specified context of use. Many studies have shown in the literature, the advantages of integrating usability prediction in the software development process. Thus, the usability prediction has become a significant and relevant research area for research practitioners. Usable software systems are much more successful as they are more accurate, safe, efficient, and effective. However, there is a lack of commonly used standard dataset of usability. Several international usability standard and models have been proposed in the literature, but none of them defined the usability dataset for usability prediction. In lucid language, software usability can be defined as human-made objects with ease of use, learnability, and remembrance. The human object can be a web application, a software tool, book, software application, or anything with which human interacts efficiently. In this work, we initially create a standard dataset for the Live Auction web portal and then predicts its usability using the multistage fuzzy system. This paper is an extension of the [9] of same authors, [9] proposes the multistage fuzzy system for determining the usability of website or software product, if values of seven factors are known. In the following section, a multistage fuzzy expert system has been studied, which takes seven inputs and computes the usability of the application under test. In Section 3, Live Auction portal has been developed using Java and the ranking of players has been implemented using efficient sowia-moora method by considering some parameters. In Section 4 &, the live auction dataset has been created and employed to compute the ISSN: IJAIASD Copyright c 2017 SERSC

Multistage Fuzzy System According to [9], the usability can be easily determined for a software product using the multistage fuzzy system. The fuzzy system accepts the seven inputs or usability factors and generates the total usability of the software product. The multistage fuzzy system consists of seven (7) factors representing a specific facet of usability; these factors are decomposed into a total of twenty-three (23) attributes, which are further divided into 42 characteristics. The factors, attributes, and characteristics are combined together in a non-redundant and hierarchical manner. The 7 factors include Efficiency, Satisfaction, Effectiveness, Memorability, Productivity, Security, and Universality. Based on these factors, the 23 attributes are quantifiable, which consist of either a fuzzy rule or countable data. The multistage fuzzy system consists of the membership function of each input (7 factors) and output (usability). For each member function, linguistic values are defined ranging 0-9, and certain fuzzy rules are defined, and on the basis of these values and rules, the fuzzy logic controller generates the desired output. The fuzzy system considers all the usability factors together to generates the fuzzy rules, define the linguistics for each input and output parameter, and define fuzzy interface system. The fuzzy system can easily compute the usability. Here, there are seven input parameters; thus generating 3 7 number of fuzzy rules and furthermore, the usability expert finds it difficult to consider all formulates fuzzy rules with proper emphasis; since the input parameter has three linguistic values (Low, Medium, and High). Thus, to minimize the total fuzzy rules, the seven factors have been decomposed into two subcategories, thus the fuzzy system developed is known as multistage fuzzy system. The two sub-categories are as follow: Software related group consists of Effectiveness, Security, Universality, and Productivity. End user related group consists of Efficiency, Memorability, and Satisfaction. Total six Fuzzy Interface System (FIS) namely sub-us-1, sub-us-2, soft-us, sub-us-3, end-user, and US have been developed using Fuzzy Logic toolbox available in Matlab. Consequently, input/output variables, their membership functions, and fuzzy control rules have also been created for each FIS. The input/output of each FIS can be seen from [9]. Figure1 presents the fully functional multistage fuzzy expert system. 3. Live Auction Web Application The auction is a process of bidding war for an item, valuable or service between interested auctioneers/parties. In the present scenario, it would be undesirable to ask an individual to leave his/her comfort zone and be available at a common location for bidding. It would also not be apt to ask individuals to involve in the process of the auction by physical gestures when same can be achieved by the click of a mouse. Thus, Live Auction takes this plight of bidding individuals into consideration and makes the process automated. This not only allows the individuals to easily get involved in the process of the auction but also makes the process visually more informative and attractive. The server controlled by auction administrator displays all the information needed by the administrator for proper conduction of the process. The client, used by individuals engaging in bidding war, enables them to be well informed about the player that is up for the auction, including all the stats available to the player, and helps them make a much more. 12 Copyright c 2017 SERSC
3 Vol., No.1 (2017) Figure 1. Multistage Fuzzy System for Usability Prediction The live auction web application has been designed and created using java, and NetBeans and the ranking of players have been implemented using sowia-moora approach. SOWIA-MOORA [7] is a multiple criteria mathematical performance evaluation model consisting of SOWIA (subjective and objective weight integrated approach) and MOORA (multiple objective optimizations on the basis of ratio analysis) methods. The input of MOORA method is the output of the SOWIA method. SOWIA method helps to predict the relative significance of criteria i.e. perception and understanding of various usability experts in the form of subjective and objective weights. The ranking of players has been implemented using some parameters and use MOORA method as it is stable and consuming less computational time. The input of sowia-moora approach is the IPL_Records consisting of a number of matches, runs, strike rate, average, the fifties, hundreds and the output is the rank of each player. The input and output snapshot can be seen in Figures 2 and 3 respectively. Thus, the live auction application has been designed successfully. Copyright c 2017 SERSC 13

8 Vol., No.1 (2017). Usability Prediction of LIVE Auction Using Multistage Fuzzy System The intuition of chance and probability develops at very early ages [4]. The probability of an event tells that how likely the event will happen. Using the probability theory, the values of the three usability factors can be mapped on the scale of 0-9 as shown in Table 4. The Factor value can be computed by finding the probability using the following equation: Factor value = ( attributes value in a factor * Max value ) / ( total number of attributes * Max value-of- Likert-scale) Where Factor value is the value generated for each factor for live auction web application. Max value-of-likert-scale is the maximum value of the scale i.e. 7. Max value is the maximum value of the scale i.e. 9. Table 4.
