Usability Testing Course
Poorly designed websites, product interfaces, and information products cost companies millions of dollars each year in terms of lost productivity and dissatisfied customers. Usability Testing is a 6-week online course that is designed to teach you how to plan, prepare, and conduct a usability test as well as report on the findings of the test. You'll learn how to plan a usability test, create test objectives, profile the user, select the right test, select the environment, and prepare the test materials. You'll discover how to conduct a one-on-one interview. You'll also find out how to analyze and report on the results of your usability test using common analysis techniques and reporting formats. By the end of this course, you will have developed a test plan for a usability test, conducted a usability test, conducted an expert (heuristic) evaluation, and written a report using the industry-standard report format.
