System Usability Scale
The System Usability Scale (SUS) is a rapid, standardized 10-item questionnaire for measuring perceived system usability in a single summary score. Developed by John Brooke in 1986, SUS has become one of the most widely used post-use usability instruments in industry and research. The scale is administered after a user has interacted with a system, capturing perceived ease of use, learnability, error recovery, and overall satisfaction with a quick, economical assessment that correlates well with comprehensive usability testing.
