| Usability | Usability is the effectiveness, efficiency and satisfaction with which users achieve specific goals in particular environments (J.Nielsen). More concretely \"Usability is that quality of a system that makes it easy to learn, easy to use and encourages the user to regard the system as a positive help in getting the job done\". (georgetown.edu) These views are complemented by the contextually-oriented view, that usability of a product is a function of the particular user or class of users being studied, the task they perform, and environment in which they work (Bevan and al) Usability can also refer to the methods of measuring usability and, the study of principles that may predict whether an object is found usable in practice.
