Usability testing

Usability testing verifies that user interfaces and documentation are understood by users and meet the user needs. [Pg.631]

Usability testing is important for any software project and done during the design phase. It is extremely important because Web applications are used by many different users with different skill sets and expectations. Typically user interface prototypes are developed and tested by all types of anticipated users. Easy navigation through screens and applications are most important for Web applications. There are a couple of more considerations specifically for Web applications ... [Pg.906]

In this phase, operators from different backgrounds test the user interface in a process called usability testing to determine the access to the intended function and their understanding of interaction concepts. [Pg.27]

In the expert review process a suitable expert is provided with access to the target system or prototype and their view on the product s usability strengths and weaknesses is solicited. The review can occur at any point in the development process and whilst the technique is not a substitute for formal usability testing it is simple, structured and easy to learn. [Pg.252]

However well informed a design process may be, ultimately the developers need in the course of designing the user interface to make assumptions about the users workflow, their environment and objectives. Those assumptions may turn out to be valid or invalid and it is the process of usability testing which puts that to the test. Unlike inspection and inquiry, formal usability testing examines the product itself or at least a mature prototype. It is therefore usually undertaken later in the product lifecycle but of course not so late that modifications are impractical or costly. [Pg.254]

Usability testing should be a planned activity with defined pass and fail criteria and the strategy should be set out in a test plan or similar artefact to be agreed up-front by project stakeholders. [Pg.255]

Usability testing can be undertaken in either laboratory conditions or in the real world. Either way the intention should be for testing to be done on an environment which is as close in look and feel to the live platform as possible. The system should be configured in a realistic manner and be populated with appropriate test data which is representative of the clinical setting. [Pg.255]

A popular variation of usability testing is a concept called think-aloud introduced by Clayton Lewis at IBM. With this model a participant is asked to vocalise... [Pg.255]

Device purchasers should strongly consider institution-specific human factors testing. Usability testing at the institutional level establishes built-in redundancies to capture any design problems missed by manufacturers. Furthermore, the users and environments at individual institutions will differ, possibly in important ways, from the users and environments in which the device or program was initially designed and tested. It is important for an institution to be aware of who the intended users of the device or software will be, as well as where and when they plan to use the device. [6]... [Pg.797]

The models, data files, and supporting documentation should be maintained, and each version of a model or data file that impacts requiremmts, designs, or decisions should be saved in the integrated database. Models may be digital, partial, or complete and may be hardware, software, or a combination of both, or may include human models or human-in-the-loop simulations or mock-ups for usability testing and workload measurement. [Pg.49]

Step 4 Conduct usability testing and evaluate its results against performance goals and objectives and make a loop back to Step 3 as appropriate. [Pg.156]

To help the development process go smoothly, data-flow diagrams and scenarios were developed based on these seven functions. Scenarios for each of these functions were used to develop user interface design by using "wireframe" technology. The scenarios were also the used for benchmarking usability testing. [Pg.374]

User simulation testing is a mixture between a system level test focused on effective use of the software, and an expert usability test. High profile testers assume the role of end users and test the software following real protocols and procedures mimicking the real-use environment of the system. The focus of the test is... [Pg.166]
