Approach We are currently developing software tools and techniques for evaluating the usability of web sites. The second set of tools and techniques we call Web Usability tools; tools developed for use by usability professionals. Usability Awareness Tools In carrying out case studies, we try to identify tools that could be developed to help in the design or testing of web sites.

Usability evaluation is the analysis of the design of a product or system in order to evaluate the match between users and a product or system within a particular context. Six usability evaluation methods and six data collection techniques are discussed, including advantages and limitations of each. The other methods are designed to support human factors engineers with evaluating the usability of a product and will be referred to as usability testing.

For developing effective interactive multimedia software, dimensions of usability testing were classified into the general categories of: learnability; performance effectiveness; flexibility; error tolerance and system integrity; and user satisfaction. In the process of usability testing, evaluation experts consider the nature of users and tasks, tradeoffs supported by the iterative design paradigm, and real world constraints to effectively evaluate and improve interactive multimedia ...

"Unobtrusive observation" means you observe what test users do and refrain from interacting with them. "Obtrusive observation" means you interact with test users, e.g. by asking questions. The second method is "obtrusive observation", which means you are allowed to explain design decisions, ask questions, or engage the test user in a discussion.

For many applications, Usability appears to consist of Usefulness and Ease of Use, which influence one another. Users appear to have a good sense of what is usable and what is not, and can apply their internal metrics across domains. Factor analyses following each study suggested that users were evaluating the products primarily using three dimensions, Usefulness, Satisfaction, and Ease of Use.
