Abstract

Usability is by far the most prominent term used to specify the quality of a software. It is defined and understood in reference to a hierarchical model called usability model, which combines the proposed seven basic usability factors, attributes and characteristics. In this work, a modified version of whale optimization algorithm evaluation called MWOA (Modified Whale Optimization Algorithm) has been discussed for software usability feature extraction.
