These processes emphasize and utilize the user perspective throughout design, development, and test" (7).
"Usability means that the people who use a product can do so quickly and easily to accomplish their own tasks" (6)

"Usability is the measure of the quality of a user's experience when interacting with a product or system — whether a Web site, a software application, mobile technology, or any user-operated device" (34).
