What is Usability Testing?

Usability testing is a type of non-functional testing that evaluates how easy and efficient a software

application is for users. It helps ensure that the software is user-friendly and provides a smooth

experience.

Key Points of Usability Testing:

1. Ease of Use: How simple it is for users to learn and use the software.

2. Efficiency: How quickly users can complete tasks.

3. Memorability: How easily users remember how to use the software after a break.

4. Error Handling: How well the software prevents and recovers from user errors.

5. User Satisfaction: Ensuring a comfortable user experience.

Advantages of Usability Testing:

- Improves user experience.

- Identifies usability issues before launch.

- Enhances efficiency and user satisfaction.

- Reduces support and training costs.

Disadvantages of Usability Testing:

- Can be time-consuming and costly.

- Requires real user involvement.

- Subjective feedback may vary among users.

score = sum(int(input(f"Rate {q} (1-10): ")) for q in ["ease", "efficiency",
"satisfaction"]) / 3
print(f"Usability Score: {score}/10 - {'Good' if score >= 7 else 'Needs improvement'}")
