Title
Impact of usability mechanisms: An experiment on efficiency, effectiveness and user satisfaction.
Abstract
•We study the effect of three usability mechanisms on efficiency, effectiveness and user satisfaction.•The adoption of Abort Operation has a significantly positive effect on efficiency (time taken), effectiveness and user satisfaction.•The adoption of Progress Feedback does not appear to have any impact on any of the usability characteristics.•The adoption of Preferences has a significantly positive effect on effectiveness and user satisfaction but no influence on efficiency.•We found that the adoption of all three mechanisms tends to improve system usability and does not degrade user performance.
