A Comparative Study of Evaluation Factors on Information Systems between the User and the Developer

정보시스템 개발자와 이용자 간의 평가요소에 대한 비교 연구

Abstract

The purpose of the study is to set up factors for evaluating information systems which can meet both users' and developers' needs. These factors can be used as a framework in developing successful information systems. To achieve this purpose factors are selected first from the literature review by the previous studies. Then two different questionnaires based on selected factors were made up and distributed to two separate groups; users and developers. It appeared that there are significant differences on ranking and weighting for evaluation factors of information systems between the user and the developer. 185 factors for evaluating information systems are divided into 9 criteria based on their roles. There are significant differences on ranking under 6 out of 9 evaluation criteria between two groups. These are 'effectiveness', 'usability', 'user friendliness', 'documentation', 'output', 'maintenance'. However, there are no significant differences on factors in 'performance', 'developer', and 'user satisfaction' criteria. As a result of the study 185 factors for evaluating information systems were presented with rank.

본 연구는 정보시스템 개발자와 이용자의 요구를 충족시킬 수 있는 정보시스템의 평가요소를 정립하기 위하여 수행되었다. 평가요소들은 선행연구에서 우선적으로 추출되고 추출된 요소는 성능, 효율성을 비롯한 9개집단으로 구분되었다. 각 기준별 평가요소를 중심으로 문항을 작성하여 개발자 집단과 이용자 집단에게 배포되어 개발자 및 이용자가 중요시하는 요소들에 있어서 차이를 밝히고 우선순위를 부여하였다. 순위부여결과 185개 시스템 평가요소에 대한 우선순위의 부여에 있어서 이용집단과 개발자집단 사이에 명확한 차이가 나타났다.
