| Usability testing can be used to benchmark the current
interface and create a clearer picture of the problems which need to be solved in the
interface, and can also be used as part of the design process to test prototypes of new
designs prior to full commitment and implementation. Guerilla
Usability Testing
Usability evaluation does not always require a formal test protocol. For situations
where rapid evaluation can provide the user feedback needed to answer design questions,
Cognetics can conduct low-intensity testing with simple prototypes.
Formal Lab Testing
Usability testing can be done in our Washington DC facility, at a rented facility
anywhere in the country or world, or at the client’s site, using a conference room or
other private area.
We will supply the portable usability lab and operator and a test facilitator, plus one
additional staff member, who will assist in observations and running the test. If the test
facility is equipped with an observation room, other members of the staff can be invited
to observe; if not, the video tapes of the session are available for later viewing. |
