In order to understand customer attitudes and behaviours during interfacing, usability and problems thereof are key focal points in customer centricity and customer understanding.
Thus, usability testing as well as user experience evaluation are essential components of UX and further lends itself to Customer Experience Design.
Usability tests tend to focus on task performance whereas UX focuses on lived experiences. The main focus of evaluation methods is to help in choosing the best design and to assess if the final product meets the original UX targets.

In the context of user centred design, typical usability concerns include:
Further points of concerns regarding usability include:
Many methods exist for doing traditional usability evaluations, but UX evaluation differs clearly from usability evaluation. While usability emphasises effectiveness and efficiency, UX is subject- as such, it cannot be evaluated with stopwatches and logging.
In industry, especially in product development, the main requirements for UX evaluation methods are is that they have to be lightweight (not require much resources), fast and relatively simple to use.
The first question that you, as a UX creator, needs to consider is whether your App is useful.The next question that needs to be asked is, “is the App or site usable?”Finally, is the app or site desirable?
