摘要: Simplistically stated, usability engineering aims at improving interactive systems and their user interfaces. Defined slightly more precisely [8], is a general concept that cannot be measured but related to several parameters can measured. Measurable fall into two broad categories: subjective preference measures, assessing how much the users like system, objective performance which measure capable are using system
