This study analyses different techniques used for evaluation of various usability dimensions of software applications (apps) being used on the smartphones. The scope of this study is to evaluate various aspects of the usability techniques employed in the domain of smartphone apps. Usability assessment methodologies are evaluated for different types of applications running on different operating systems like Android, Blackberry and iOS, etc. Usability evaluation techniques and methodologies with respect to usability heuristics like field experiments, laboratory experiments models and usability standards are discussed in detail. The issues for evaluation of usability of smartphone apps are identified by considering limitations and areas of improvement outlined in the contemporary literature. A conceptual framework for usability evaluation of smartphone apps is also designed which would be validated through experimentation in the thesis work. This study is particularly useful to comprehend usability issues and their likely remedies to produce high quality smartphone apps.

“…While 89% of users posit that the use of terms throughout the application was consistent (i.e., consistency), 94% perceived that the messages (feedbacks) which appear on the screen were clear (i.e., clarity). With regard to content, 81% of participants felt that the application keeps them informed about what it is doing and another 89% believe that error messages were helpful [46][47][48][49][50].

A subjective usability evaluation was carried out on a mobile cinema application (GSC mobile cinema application) to evaluate the satisfaction and experience of its users. The evaluation was done in two areas: Politeknik Balik Pulau, Pulau Pinang and Kolej Poly-Tech Mara (KPTM) Alor Setar, Kedah. The rationale for the assessment was to evaluate the satisfaction and experience of users in terms of their reactions to the mobile application’s interface, terminology and information, application capability and general impression. Twenty volunteers participated in the study. Ten of these participants were at Politeknik Balik Pulau, Pulau Pinang and the other ten were at Kolej Polytech Technology Mara, Alor Setar. The findings indicate that the application’s interface was easy to use, simple, consistent, clear, operable, understandable, fast, error recoverable, learnable and enjoyable.

“…Efficiency on the other hand is the quality of a software interface that defines the amount of resource (in terms of mental efforts and time, etc.) expended by users to achieve their goals with completeness and accuracy on a software interface [38][39][40][41][42][43][44][45][46][47][48][49].…”

This study presents the results on the usability testing done on Golden Screen Cinema (GSC) mobile appli-cation at two sites: Polytechnic Balik Pulau, Penang and Poly-Tech College Mara (KPTM) Alor Setar, Kedah. The purpose of the testing was to elicit the overall reactions of users to the GSC mobile application with respect to the user interface, terminology and information, application capability and general impression. There were twenty volunteer participants who were recruited for the usability testing. Ten were used at Polytechnic Balik Pulau, Penang while the other ten were used at Kolej Polytech Technology Mara, Alor Setar. Of the 20 participants,17 had no prior experiences on the use of GSC mobile application while 3 had experience on the use of GSC mobile application. The test result showed that the GSC app is both effective and efficient. Thus, indicating that the mobile application has good usability in terms effectiveness and efficiency. However, the participants' facial expressions and body language while performing tasks revealed that some of them had some challenges. Features in the GSC app, such as choosing seats and making payment made some of the participants react uneasily and with caution because of their lack of confidence as it had to do with financial matters. Based on observation, most of the participants looked nervous and felt uneasy during the session. This was so even though a brief briefing about the test was given to avoid such nervousness.
