Software Usability Evaluation Method
Software usability is a important factor in evaluating the quality of any software. All the software quality model has consider the usability as one of the most important criteria of judging the performance of any software. Different methods have been employed to calculate usability, but in this paper we are providing a very simple technique in this paper. This paper also provides a method by w...
متن کاملVirtual Prototypes in Usability Testing
This paper describes a study of a three-dimensional virtual prototype intended for usability testing and concept validation over the internet. A virtual reality modeling language (VRML)-model of a fictive mobile phone concept with simulated interaction functionality was tested for usability following two approaches. The first group performed a traditional task-based usability test, the other pe...

The first type of definition was common in the 1970s but has proved largely useless for design purposes since it offers neither useful guidance for designers nor perspective for evaluators. The feature-based approach stems from the longstanding desire to specify in advance desirable interface attributes that enhance usability. However, this type of definition rests on an assumption that usabili...
متن کاملBringing Usability Concerns to the Design of Software Architecture1
Software architects have techniques to deal with many quality attributes such as performance, reliability, and maintainability. Usability, however, has traditionally been concerned primarily with presentation and not been a concern of software architects beyond separating the user interface from the remainder of the application. In this paper, we introduce usabilitysupporting architectural patt...
