  1. Usability Testing • Jakub Franc • User Researcher • Software eXperience Design Group • Sun Microsystems

  2. Presentation Outline What is Usability testing? What is it good for? How to do it?

  3. Introductory Information (1/2) Data collection method Direct identification of usability problems Provides information about real usage of the product Chance to see real user performing tasks in her/his own way

  4. Introductory Information (2/2) Various levels of elaboration Various purposes Evaluating single version of product Comparing two versions of product (even against competitor's products) Significantly reduces development and service cost

  5. What does it look like?

  6. When to test? Whenever! In the beginning of PLC – prototypes Before release (alpha/beta versions) Disaster check After release Input for planning following versions

  7. Advantages and Disadvantages Advantages Provides information about real usage of the product Effective Relatively cheap Disadvantages UI should be testable It does not provide solutions to problems Requires a lot of input from development team

  8. Qualitative vs. Quantitative Approach Qualitative 6 – 8 participants Less time consuming, reveals 90% of problems Common in commercial environment Quantitative 20+ participants Statistical evaluation - metrics Government contracts, universities

  9. How Many Participants?

  10. How to Run Such a Study?
