Usability Testing Boot Camp
Boost your web site's user experience by learning how to run your own usability test from start to finish.
Description
Learn how to carry out a usability test — the gold standard for measuring user experience.
This workshop will give you the confidence to run a usability test of your company's product, software or web site.
Unlike market research methods, usability testing shows how real people will use the product in the real world.
But there are several different types of usability test, making it difficult for design teams to agree on a technique. Usability testing is also very different from interviews or focus groups and requires a well-trained test moderator.
Crammed with insights from usability testing experts, you'll:
- Master usability test moderation.
- Discover how to choose between remote and lab-based tests, and moderated and unmoderated usability tests.
- Get coached through the various steps you need to take to run your first usability test.
- Hear experienced usability testers describe the problems you're likely to encounter when moderating and logging usability tests — and you'll find out how to solve them.
- Download the forms, templates and cheat sheets that practitioners use in their job.
- Learn battle-tested, persuasive techniques to present the results to developers, managers and clients.
- Discover how to find test participants.
- Benefit from industry insights from user experience expertslike Dr Deborah Mayhew, Dr Philip Hodgson, Miles Hunter, Dr Todd Zazelenchuk and Jeff Sauro in our unique, 15-minute masterclass interviews.
In short, this course will give you the kind of practical knowledge that you can’t get from reading a book.
