"Correct me if I am wrong here, Joseph, but from your perspective the term
Usability should be used only with regard to Testing and Evaluation.  Am I
right?  (I'm not challenging your perspective, only trying to determine if
there is a consensual or at least majority view here.) "

That is a good question. My take is that usability as a *process* is
measurement (testing and evaluation). Usability as a *concept* refers to
qualities of the design. So you could make the statement that good design is
highly usable - which mixes the two ideas - but, in my view point, it
doesn't mix the two processes.
