Abstract :
Reviewing many usability evaluation methods (UEMs) can be challenging and so selecting the appropriate UEM for a particular context, such as software process descriptions (SPDs), is difficult. Consequently, systematic analysis of UEMs based on a reusable set of evaluation criteria and strategies is essential. In this paper, we employ the feature analysis - screening mode of the DESMET methodology to analyse a range of UEMs and to suggest several UEM candidates for evaluating the usability of SPD.
