Usability Testing and Evaluation

1 day


Abstract

Learn how usability testing differs from acceptance testing. Understand the importance of making usability evaluations an integral part of your design process. Properly planned evaluations will remove rough edges in the design and ensure maximum acceptance and performance. The correct scheduling of evaluations will catch problems early in the development cycle when they are cheaper to correct. Participants will conduct evaluations using single and multiple video cameras.
