Usability facts
- In software engineering, usability is the degree to which a software can be used by specified consumers to achieve quantified objectives with effectiveness, efficiency, and satisfaction in a quantified context of use
- The object of use can be a software application, website, book, tool, machine, process, vehicle, or anything a human interacts with
- A usability study may be conducted as a primary job function by a usability analyst or as a secondary job function by designers, technical writers, marketing personnel, and others
- It is widely used in consumer electronics, communication, and knowledge transfer objects (such as a cookbook, a document or online help) and mechanical objects such as a door handle or a hammer
- Usability includes methods of measuring usability, such as needs analysis and the study of the principles behind an object's perceived efficiency or elegance
- In human-computer interaction and computer science, usability studies the elegance and clarity with which the interaction with a computer program or a web site (web usability) is designed
- Usability differs from user satisfaction and user experience because usability does not directly consider usefulness or utility
