چکیده
The Usability Evaluation (UE) of a product has been a popular research topic in recent years, e.g. [FIA11, HKM13]. Usability is assessed by different methods at every step of software development. Through redesign of the product and repeated assessments, the usability of a software is improved. UE also plays an important role in the development of websites. Nowadays, with web 2.0, web applications, and dynamic websites, it is even more important to test the usability of a website than it was in the past.
