==Usability questionnaire==

Whereas holistic oriented usability questionnaires such as [[system usability scale]] (SUS) examine the usability of a system on several dimensions such as defined in [[ISO 9241]] Part 11 standard effectiveness, efficiency and satisfaction, a Component-Based Usability Questionnaire (CBUQ) <ref name="Brinkman2009">Brinkman, W.-P., Haakma, R., & Bouwhuis, D.G. (2009), Theoretical foundation and validity of a component-based usability questionnaire, ''Behaviour and Information Technology'', 2, no. 28, pp. 121 – 137.

is a questionnaire which can be used to evaluate the usability of individual interaction components, such as the volume control or the play control of a MP3 player. To evaluate an interaction component, the six Perceived Ease-Of-Use (PEOU) statements from the [[Technologytechnology acceptance model]] are taken with a reference to the interaction component, instead of to the entire system, for example:

''Learning to operate the Volume Control would be easy for me''.
