Abstract
This paper presents a concept for a design of a new, hybrid method for web systems usability evaluation. This method will combine various elements of other, well-known usability methods, and will be enhanced with a mechanism to evaluate the use of the system, by the users, against the model of its desired use. This way it will be possible to determine the usability of a tested system, using various metrics and techniques, during a single test.
