The goal of usability testing is to identify any usability problems, collect quantitative data on participants' performance (e.g., time on task, error rates), as well as determine user satisfaction with the system. The difficulty of system navigation or systems which have requirements which do not seem to serve a purpose to the end users often leads to the formation of workarounds ("Transforming healthcare through technology," n.d.). The paper will inform the reader about meaningful use and its link to usability. The paper provides a discussion of the chosen system assessed for its usability; length of time that the system has been in place and the writers' familiarity with the application.
Yen used a hands-on approach while fueling his system planning in order to create the best app experience for his buyer’s and colleagues. For example, one approach Bruce Yen took was to simply just hand his colleagues the iPad with the app and ask them to play with the software for ten minutes and see how they felt about it. Instead of looking at previous research, he took it into his own hands, and performed his own informal test runs. By doing this, he could get real and honest opinions of somebody interacting with the app. A second hands-on approach that Bruce Yen took to perfect the software was actually following buyers around the Guess locations and questioning them to see how the software was working for them. He was curious to see how
I choose to evaluate the website http://www.dhmo.org/ with the web page evaluation checklist. It is broken into five categories; Look at the URL, Scan perimeter of page to answer specific questions, Look for quality indicators, What do others say? and Does it all add up?

As indicated, usability is the ability of a user to find the information he/she seeks, process the information, and perform whatever functions as needed (Eccher, 2015, p. 7). The use of a navigation menu allows the user to peruse the website. There exist four primary pathways by which users are able to navigate a website: use of hyperlinks, streamline the navigation bar, keep sidebars separate, and include footers. Hyperlinks will be examined initially.
The techniques of the stimulation gave an outline of achieving the companies goal to identifying the problems, how to fix the problems and implementation. The criteria matrix was the technique used to identify the problems. The criteria matrix provided a simply way of prioritizing, organization, and sorting out issues into categories deemed critical or non-critical and whether each on was urgent or non-urgent. This was also a controlled way of making deciding what the problem was because you had all the information to start making decisions.
