A Usability Evaluation examines the way users interact with products and services in order to achieve a goal. Often times, there are measures that are tied to those goals that are quantified. Academic literature has a robust catalog of research on studies that examine various perspectives that explore user attitudes and experiences. Such attitudes and experiences include:
Learnability
Findability
Satisfaction
Efficiency
Memorability
Effectiveness
Ease of Use
Error Handling
Remember, usability is not one-dimensional. It is a complex system of properties. That integrates many factors. It is subjective from user to user.
For this assignment, you are asked to explore one of these topics. You are to conduct an analytical research review of the assigned usability category/dimension above.
