Abstract
This paper presents an attempt to combine usability testing of software product with multicriteria evaluation techniques. The author argues that user preferences as to quality characteristics can be identified and captured, so it is easier to track to what extend a software product satisfies users’ needs, and in result to develop a product of high quality and usability.
