measured subjectively according to user feedback. It refers to the ease
with which a user can learn to operate, prepare input for, and
interpret the output of the service. [CD-JRA-1.3.2] {GEN: Quality Attribute} {SPC: Learnability, Effectiveness, Efficiency of Use, Content Accessibility, Satisfaction} |
