However this is more a primary ergonomic principle rather than a definition. Ergonomics

3. Usability ISO 9241 Ergonomic requirements for office work with visual display terminals (VDTs). ISO 13407 Human-centred design processes for interactive systems. "The extent to which a product can be used by specified users to achieve specified goals with effectiveness, efficiency, and satisfaction in a specified context of use." (ISO 9241)

4. Multiple factors Learnability : How easy is it for users to accomplish basic tasks the first time they encounter the design? Efficiency : Once users have learned the design, how quickly can they perform tasks? Memorability : When users return to the design after a period of not using it, how easily can they re establish proficiency? Errors : How many errors do users make, how severe are these errors, and how easily can they recover from the errors? Satisfaction : How pleasant is it to use the design?
