Liberating Usability Testing by Phil Carter
To find out if something is useful, you use it and find out. There is movement between your use of the thing and your thinking about it. Remakably, this everyday inquiry within experience has not been high-lighted as the essence of usability testing. When it is, usability testing can be liberated from specialists and restrictive procedures. It is humanized so it can be owned by anone and used in a wide range of ways in response to the emergent needs of a software-development endeavour. In addition, when usability expands to include usefulness and what works well, it becomes much more generative. This article seeks to build awareness and precision in our practice of usability testing. March 2007
