The Human-Computer Interaction is getting more interesting and important for many aspects of the study. One such issue is, a quality of interactive software: usability , flexibility and simplicity of the program, for the computer-users. At present, a lot of research going on, which aims to create a model of how to study and evaluate a variety of software. The majority of systems that do the ergonomics software testing, possess lots of effectiveness measuring, but only a small number of them use Mental Effort. In general definition usability of a software is a quality dimension of software products- better quality means that less effort is needed for the usage of the particular software. The paper will demonstrate how can be established software quality, by studying changes in Mental Effort. Mental Effort calculation is not that simple, and requires many other parameters of HCI, but the most effective method is considered to be HRV (Heart Rate Variability). This is a reliable method in order to further explore the Human – Computer Interaction. One of the implementation of this method is the software "INTERFACE". The main advantage of the program is that it can make online records, about a mental effort, using heart rate variability. In this paper we discuss about advantages and opportunities of this software, as well as the possible shortcomings and deficiencies in comparison with other similar systems.
