Der Begriff der Qualität und der Gebrauchstauglichkeit hat in der Informations- und Kommunikationstechnik sowie der Informatik eine herausragende Bedeutung. Der Autor führt in diese Thematik ein, indem er zunächst die Fachbegriffe und die Grundlagen der Psychophysik und Psychometrie erläutert. Darauf aufbauend wird der Kreislauf einer menschenorientierten Systementwicklung vorgestellt. Die Messung und Vorhersage von Qualität und Gebrauchstauglichkeit wird anhand von Beispielen veranschaulicht, u. a. für Sprach- und multimodale Dialogsysteme.
