Usability Testing Tips

Do we have to blog on this or just apply it to the exercise due tommorow?

I did list it as an assigned text, so I do consider it important enough in its own right, not just as tool to get another assignment done. However, we'll be returning to this document later, when you design a usability test for a more targeted purpose. As long as you do include it for the "coverage" component of your next portfolio, I suppose all will be well...

Just a reminder... anything that gets its own listing as an assigned text is something I'm asking you to blog and comment about (at least briefly).

I only blogged about the first reading. I don't have a prototype, and I'm not ready to do a true usability test...yet!

That's right, Jed, I'm not expecting you to have your own prototype or revise anything yet, this is just an introduction to the concept.

All I have are questions:

Not opinions but evidence!
