At Cisco we have been using SUMI (Standard Usability Measurement Inventory) for a few years (not to be confused with SUM, which Chauncey Wilson mentioned)
Though SUMI is good (as described below) does anyone know of new or upcoming metrics methodologies/tools for non-web site design? Our design projects tend to be application software that is sometimes web-based. We don't do web pages, so web metrics don't apply. Some product examples are WebEx, Linksys home networking, and of course our huge line of enterprise networking products. Some facts about SUMI in case you want to try it: - It works best as an addition to a usability study - Developed by Dr. Jurek Kirakowski from the Human Factors Research group at the University of Cork. See http://www.ucc.ie/hfrg/questionnaires/sumi/ - A rigorously tested and proven method of measuring software quality from the end user's point of view. Similar in design to Myers-Briggs - It measures Efficiency, Affect (emotion), Helpfulness, Control and Learnability Anjali Magana Cisco . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
