More About This Textbook
Overview
Whether it's software, a cell phone, or a refrigerator, your customer wants no, expects'your product to be easy to use. This fully revised handbook provides clear, step-by-step guidelines to help you test your product for usability. Completely updated with current industry best practices, it can give you that all-important marketplace advantage: products that perform the way users expect. You'll learn to recognize factors that limit usability, decide where testing should occur, set up a test plan to assess goals for your product's usability, and more.
The usability of a product defines how well--and how easily--the product meets the user's needs. This comprehensive guidebook covers every stage of the usability testing process and coaches the reader on how to ensure that their computer products and documentation meet the ergonomic needs of everyday users.
