Workshop Session B7:
"User Testing on a Shoestring Budget"
This page provides details for the workshop session on
"User Testing on a Shoestring Budget".
- Title:
- User Testing on a Shoestring Budget
- Facilitator:
- Emma Tonkin, UKOLN and Greg Tourte, UKOLN
- Abstract:
- User testing is often considered to be prohibitively expensive, complicated
and time-consuming; the good news is that at least two of these assumptions are wrong.
This hands-on session demonstrates how to use scenario-based user testing to
check out the usability of a small application. It concentrates on accessible and
practical real-world techniques for user testing, analysing the results, and working
out how to apply them - as quick fixes, long-term aims or feature requests.
- Learning Objectives:
- This session is intended to demonstrate a method of user testing that can
easily be understood and reused. It is principally designed to help attendees
understand the uses of user testing, and gain an understanding of how to apply
these skills in the real world.
