Title

Introduction to this special issue on experimental comparisons of usability evaluation methods

Source

Human-computer interaction. 13(1998) no.3, S.199-201

Year

1998

Abstract

Provides the background to the articles in a special issue inspired by a controversial conference presentation, highly critical of the studies of usability evaluation methods (UEMs) applied in human-computer interaction studies. Discussions in the articles concern the definition of usability, the learning and application of UEMs and how research might help in choosing from among them
