Usability as a Requirement(ISO Usability Standard 9241 )
• Usability is how a product can be used by specified users to achieve specified goals with effectiveness, efficiency, and satisfaction in a specified context
– Effectiveness measures accuracy and completeness– Efficiency measures resources expended – Satisfaction measures the freedom from discomfort, and positive attitudes towards the
use of the product
=
Effectiveness (% of goal achieved)+ Efficiency (time to complete a task, or the error rate, or the amount of effort)+ Satisfaction (subjective rating scale)

How do you Measure/Test Usability?
Effectiveness• Percent of tasks
completed• Ratio of successes to
failures• Workload• Number of features or
commands used
Efficiency • Time
• Complete a task
• Learn a task
• Spend on errors
• Percent or number • Errors
• Failed commands
• Tasks completed
• Frequency of help or documentation use
Satisfaction• Rating scale
• Usefulness of product/service
• Functions/features
• User vs. technological control of task
• Number of times user expresses frustration or anger
• Perception that the technology supports tasks as needed by the user
