UX
User experience (UX) means the overall experience a user has when using a product. To create good user experience a product has to be easy to use, fit users’ expectations and meet their goals. Many things affect on UX. Usability of the product is one of them. Peter Morville has visualized UX nicely with a honeycomb that shows the different facets of the user experience.
