Usability should be the ulitmate goal of any designer in any project.
Usability testing is the process of observing users interacting with a particular object or system with a view to finding the points of failure and reducing or removing them. If a system has "good usability" then it can be considered to be easy to use from the first interaction. Poor usability results in failure to complete desired goals, and thus a poor return on investment (ROI).
