Abstract:

Propose: 

Operation Research (OR) has attracted the interest of many researchers. As human activity increases, the use of computers in implementing accurate and fast optimization algorithms seems inevitable. Usability and reliability are two important attributes for software quality and can play an important role in improving user experience.

Methodology

In this paper, usability is presented as the user's effort in performing a task in the software application and reliability is presented as the ability to run a program in a given environment in a given period of time without errors. These two criteria are measured using a standard questionnaire. Five common software programs OR are evaluated. A random sample was used to select 20 questionnaires and determine the usability and reliability scores. Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) models without inputs were used to evaluate the five selected programs.

Findings

The results indicate that the software GAMS was assigned the first role in the evaluation of five common OR softwares.

Originality/Value: 

Software evaluation can play an important role in any field from business and industry to entertainment and entertainment.
