This paper reports an evaluation of a number of metrics proposed to measure user productivity and product quality in a usability laboratory setting. The examined metrics were found to be unsuitable indicators of productivity and quality in the context of the experimental study. Many insights were obtained, however, into what will be required to make future experimentation successful. A series of recommendations are made.
