Getting started with usability in 7 simple steps

jake January 31, 2011

We've posted another interesting article over on our blog about getting yourself started with usability testing

Well some of the information on the blog has been mentioned here before, it's great to be able to find all that 'beginners guide' kind of stuff in one place, and even if you are an experienced usability practitioner, you might be able to learn a thing or two.

The seven key points are:

  1. Make the most of everyone you can - e.g. test and question those around you
  2. Try card sorting exercises
  3. Use the web - to find tools, resources, testing methods, communities...
  4. Listen to feedback
  5. Don't be afraid to make changes
  6. Know your audience
  7. Do it now - don't put it off, or say, 'wouldn't that be nice...'

This is of course just a very brief summary of the key points. To learn more with a lot more detail, head over to our blog and read the article. If you have any questions, let us know here, or on the blog and we'll be back with you very shortly.

Happy testing everyone.
