What is usability

Usability measures the quality of a user’s experience when interacting with a product or system—whether a website, a software application, mobile technology or any user-operated device.

In general, usability refers to how well users can learn and use a product to achieve their goals and how satisfied they are with that process. Usability may also consider such factors as cost-effectiveness and usefulness.

The IE Lab is a university-based usability lab that provides services to companies and organizations. Since the IE Lab is used as a teaching and research facility, our pricing is very competitive and our services are research based.
