24 User Testing In-depth testing of a website utilizing audio/video recording

25 Consult with the client Identify problem areas, specific aspects to be tested, and most importantly, the goals and metrics that will determine success

26 Develop a test plan Create scenarios and tasks to test user behavior

27 How many users do I need to test? N(1-(1-L) n ) n = number of users in a usability test N = total number of usability problems in the design L = proportion of usability problems discovered while testing a single user

28 How many users do I need to test? N(1-(1-L) n ) Source: Jakob Nielsen, Why You Only Need to Test with 5 Users

29 Test the test Conduct in-house testing to ensure the test works well

30 Recruit test subjects Test subjects should be from the user groups that the client organization is targeting

31 Carry out the testing

32 Carry out the testing

33 Evaluate data Collectively analyze data and draft reports with conclusions - do this sooner rather than later
