Abstract

Usability is one of the most important quality factors in the fields of software engineering and an important issue in the development of successful software applications. To develop efficient software systems, software developers need appropriate metrics. Object-oriented metrics can play important role in the development of successful and usable software applications because object-oriented design techniques have become one of the most powerful mechanisms to fulfill the demand of efficient software systems. Currently there are no comprehensive criteria for estimating usability by using object-oriented metrics. This paper focuses on usability and presents a comparative analysis of various usability models and metrics. It then analyzes the relationship between usability and object-oriented metrics.
