Tener is an energy management software used in Switzerland to monitor energy consumption of various buildings in Switzerland. The aim of the project of was to improve the usability and
functionality of the software
The process of evaluation involved a set of 3 User interviews, followed by card sorting and Hieuristic evaluation. On the basis of the tests 5 major problems were observed-
1. The software was used not user centric.
2. The structure of the software was too complex.
3. The translations between the 3 languages were not proper(fr-it-en).
4. There was no proper grid structure.
5. The visuals of the software were not appealing.
On the basis of the observation the complete software was redesigned on paper and then a complete functional prototype was made on Axure. This protoype was evaluated by experienced user and
once the problems were rectified, the Visual of the software were designed.
