Usability Testing- Testing done to determine the ease with
which a software application is 1)Easy to Learn 2)Easy to
Use 3) Easy to memorise. Usability Testing also involves
testing of Aesthetic aspects of product (Look & Feel).
Usability Testing is imporant as it demotivates the user
from using an application.

experiance of the tester is used to anticipate what defects
might be there in the system. In this type of testing there
is less focus on documentation & more focus is on test
execution. This type of testing is done when there is no
formal Requirment Documentation exists.
