Software usability datasets

Usability of software systems have recently become a very significant quality factor for enhancing the quality of software and is usually associated with easiness in use and learn. A various usability models and ISO/IEEE standards have been proposed in literature with their own set of features and attributes. The proposed models are validated using a number of qualitative usability evaluation techniques. However, there is a lack of a commonly used, standard dataset for usability evaluation. In this work, two new datasets i.e. software development lifecycle (SDLC) and Live Auction are created and made publicly available. Moreover, in this paper, we have also done a critical analysis of usability evaluation techniques and use questionnaire evaluation technique to create the new datasets.
