This report examines the relationship between Usability and subjective judgmentsabout aesthetic and emotional aspects of users of a web production. Through thedevelopment of two prototypes that reflects different aspects of Usability and subjectiveassessments examined the consequences of a differentiation of the concepts andUsability and Likeability. Thereafter, an evaluation of the two prototypes are madethrough user testing. Finally, the results of the evaluation is presented and are relatedto the concepts of Usability and likeability. .

The aim with this thesis is to investigate two different methods used to test Usability on web-sites to determine the advantages and disadvantages of two methods and compare the results. The two selected methods are the think aloud method and asynchronous remote method. Re-mote Usability testing has existed for more than ten years but the possibilities with this meth-od needs to be explored more.To achieve the purpose of this thesis a case study was conducted on an e-commerce site and for the online remote Usability testing software was used.The results of this study show that think aloud Usability testing encounter more issues with the website than the remote Usability testing..

The purpose of this essey is through empirical methods investigate Usability factors on Video On Demand applications for the Internet. More specificly we will focus on a application called Voddler. The purpose is to identify Usability problems that exist in Voddler, and present the reader with suggestions on possible solutions. This could be used as guidelines to how to design for Usability in this kind of system. We will use an online survey to investigate Voddler Usability and use this data as a basis for our analysis.

The purpose of this paper is to form an understanding of how to use the demand for Usability and accessibility. Requirements for Usability and accessibility are available from several agencies, an example is Myndigheten för delaktighet. Through literature studies, I get answer to what are Usability and accessibility and the demands that can be set on a public website. In this study of three municipalities you get a glance how local authorities have been working on their web pages and if they fulfill the requirements so that the disabled would consider that the page has good Usability and accessibility. In the interviews conducted in one of the municipalities you will receive information how they plan, organize, implement, monitor and develop their websites.

Användningen av mobila system ökar idag. I takt med att användningen ökar ställshögre krav på god Usability. Nästan 50 % av defekterna i programvaror kan härröras tillUsability?problem. Denna uppsats behandlar unika begränsningar och möjligheter hosmobila geografiska informationssystem, GIS, utifrån ett Usability?perspektiv.

Usability is a way to study how good a website is which is what our research builds upon. On a mission from Liseberg our purpose is to find out if their website liseberg.se is good from a user?s perspective. Our way of carrying this out where grounded upon a qualitative study through observations and following interviews with a number of participants. By compositing tools of method we have started with the theories descriptions of Usability tests and we have also used the theories to be able to reflect around and to understand the results from the tests.

Usability is a field within systems development which doesn?t get the attention it might deserve. Above all, it?s considered time consuming and expensive by many people in the industry. The current information regarding low-cost alternatives to achieve a more usable system seems to be almost non-existent.

This study has researched how user click heatmaps and eye tracking can be utilized in Usability testing. We have used the tools SessionCam and Tobii. We designed a website for a small clothing store and conducted Usability tests, in order to evaluate the users clicks and eye movements in relation to design choices on the website. The aim of this study was to research how these tools can be integrated in Usability testing and how results from the tests can be used to improve Usability. We were able to use the recordings of clicks and eye movements and make design changes based on the findings.

Uppsatsen faller inom MDI-området. Syftet med uppsatsen har varit att kombinera en produktmodell med Usability-teori för att appliceras på skivaffärer på Internet. Fokus har legat mot utarbetande av s.k. guidelines för formgivning av internetbaserade skivaffärer utifrån användares personliga upplevelser vid utförandet av kritiska uppgifter hos tjänsten. Uppsatsen avslutas med de framarbetade riktlinjerna samt en diskussion om applicerbarheten hos det framtagna analysramverket..

The aim of this essay is to examine three separate Swedish public libraries and their respective websites on the grounds of the Usability sciences. I firstly had to summarize the main properties of the Usability-field in order to gain an extended knowledge of its purposes and possible usage for today?s library systems. I was then able to apply the extended knowledge in the examination of the three library websites and the purpose of determining whether or not they were designed according to the standards set by the Usability-sciences.Usability is a rather new science that deals with the dissection and examination of computer-based systems, in order to find the key components that make systems user-friendlier. With user needs being the main focus of its research, Usability tries to meet all the different needs of the modern user and construct systems that are less system-centered and more user-centered.

In this essay we discuss the broad area of website Usability from a tourism perspective. Our goal was to investigate the Usability in smaller and bigger tourism websites. We have declared what website Usability means and the importance of involving the users when designing a user interface. In a pilot study, we conducted three interviews with people who work with Usability and then used the information we got to form questions to use in a focus group interview. In this focus group, we asked three people to assess two Swedish tourism websites, one bigger and one smaller, to find out if they were considered usable and if there was any difference in Usability depending on the size of the site.

This paper reports a study on the Usability of e-commerce accessed through smartphones. There is much research in the Usability of mobile interfaces and many sets of design patterns have been created but a few studies are available for specific domains, and in this report we focus on mobile e-commerce. In this study a framework is developed for how to design mobile e-commerce interfaces with a high degree of Usability. Furthermore, the study also contributes a method to how other specific domain can develop a framework with general standards to work from when creating a web interface. By examining two sets of design principles and 14 design patterns, we evaluate which ones are critical in the design of a mobile e-commerce interface for achieving a high degree of Usability.

In relation to the development of IT-products it is very important that the software supplier is aware not only of the target group but also the field of application. Usability should characterize the whole IT-design process as, in relation to this context, design includes more than merely those aspects which are visible to and thus can be interpreted by the naked eye. The study examines the specific qualities and properties that substantiate the Usability and the demands that a customer rightfully expects from an IT-product. The user and the customer are highlighted in the same context in order to demonstrate that it is through the customer that an IT-product is defined as being useful. Thus, from this perspective, the user and customer can be considered as being the same person.

Problem: Our opinion is that it is important to consider about Usability in system development. In this thesis we will focus on Usability in point-of-sale systems. The point-of-sale system we base this thesis on is Extenda Retail. Our case study is performed on Ica Kvantum in Bromölla, which implemented Extenda Retail about two years ago. Purpose: The purpose of this thesis is to figure out what important factors there are to consider, in Usability aspects, when developing point-of-sale systems, with focus on the cashier.
