Usability of “Traysi”: A Web Application for Tricycle Commuters

Abstract

This study measured the usability of a web application for tricycle commuters that was developed using Hypertext Markup Language (HTML), Cascading Style Sheet (CSS) and Javascript (JS) with the aid of Google Artificial Programming Interfaces (APIs). Toward this goal, the effectiveness, efficiency and user satisfaction were measured using common usability metrics. The effectiveness was measured in terms of task completion rate and user errors while efficiency was measured in terms of time on task. For user satisfaction, the post-task questionnaire, Single Ease Question (SEQ), was used. In order to check whether the web application will be usable even for first time users, the usability test was conducted three times. The result revealed that the usability of the web application is acceptable on the first trial. However, the usability improved on the next used which is evident on the third trial that yielded a 93.33% task completion rate with only one user error. The average time on task on every trial was lower than the maximum acceptable task time and the user satisfaction was high (x̅ = 6.00). Thus, the web application was highly usable in doing its intended purpose especially if it is repeatedly used.
