摘要：This study analyses different techniques used for
evaluation of various usability dimensions of software
applications (apps) being used on the smartphones. The scope of
this study is to evaluate various aspects of the usability
techniques employed in the domain of smartphone apps.
Usability assessment methodologies are evaluated for different
types of applications running on different operating systems like
Android, Blackberry and iOS, etc. Usability evaluation
techniques and methodologies with respect to usability heuristics
like field experiments, laboratory experiments models and
usability standards are discussed in detail. The issues for
evaluation of usability of smartphone apps are identified by
considering limitations and areas of improvement outlined in the
contemporary literature. A conceptual framework for usability
evaluation of smartphone apps is also designed which would be
validated through experimentation in the thesis work. This study
is particularly useful to comprehend usability issues and their
likely remedies to produce high quality smartphone apps.
