Usability is a key element in defining the overall quality of a software system and is commonly recognized as a quality factor in the technical aspect. In the literature, the term usability is widely used and means different things to different people. Usability has a multi-dimensional character and cannot be viewed only from one point of view because it is influenced by various factors.

Usability is a qualitative feature of software during its use which allows the user to perform desired tasks easily, effectively and comfortably. Key words: ISO, quality standard, software quality. Since it is not easy to determine the characteristics that contribute most to the quality in use, two methods are applied in identifying the key attributes that affect usability, and they are to be given special consideration when building a model of usability. The paper gives a brief chronology of attempts to identify different dimensions of usability based on its definitions. To ensure the required quality in use, it is necessary to measure and evaluate many characteristics that affect the usability of software. At the beginning of the paper, a retrospective of formal definitions of usability is given in order to show the evolution of views on usability for more than three decades. The paper emphasizes the importance of software usability as a key quality characteristic of software during its use.
