Basic Characteristics

  • Usability testing is a method to evaluate the usability of a product in an objective and comprehensible way.
  • Users or potential future user are asked to perform realistic tasks uing the product or a prototype of it.
  • Testing happens late in the development process. The product must be developped to an extent that performing a realistic task is possible
  • Fair testing is assumed. During the task performance there is no (or very limited) assistance by the researcher. One of the research questions is: "Can users perform and complete the task wihtout assistance?"
