 Usability testing is done for" user friendliness". In this we check how comfortable the customeri s in going thru the application. suppose for an example while logging in he forgot his password, in usability testing u have to check whether  there is an "forgot password option" and if we click this it is asking for secret question or not and  many things u can test like there should be minimise and maxmise button for a window....and so on

Usability testing is to check the format, alignment of the screens and also ensure to navigate the screens.

Usability testing will also take into account the requirement specifications. If client has specified a particular tyepe of page i.e header, footer,fontstyle etc then the css needs to be maintained. Also the user-friendliness which has already been mentioned.

Let me start with small example:
You have given right user name and wrong password for yahoo or gmail
What would you expect? surely it would display an error message as user name and
Password does not match. If it does not gives you any message its not an user
friendly.

We can conclude that how ease the application is?
does it provides any error handling messages, and it should be easy to learn and
also easy to operate.

This kind of testing is typically done by the users of the product.

Testing for 'user friendliness'. Clearly this is subjective, and will depend on the targeted end-user or customer. User interviews, surveys, video recording of user sessions, and other techniques can be used. Programmers and testers are usually not appropriate as usability testers.
