Guerilla Usability Testing

Usability tests are an excellent way of discovering problems with a product or service. Commissioning a dedicated usability lab will provide a high degree of scientific rigour, but comes at significant cost.

But usability testing needn't cost the Earth. Instead of a single academic evaluation, why not bring your usability testing in-house and run it alongside your design and development process? Two or three quick-and-dirty usability tests will not only provide great results but will also allow you to iterate your product between tests, ultimately leading to a more refined product.

In this presentation Andy Budd will explore techniques and tools for effective low cost, high value user testing.
