You don't see any elephants around here, do you? : What do-it-yourself usability testing is, why it always works, and why so little of it gets done -- I will now saw my [lovely] assistant in half : what a do-it-yourself test looks like -- A morning a month, that's all we ask : a plan you can actually follow -- What do you test, and when do you test it? : Why the hardest part is starting early enough -- Recruit loosely and grade on a curve : who to test with and how to find them -- Find some things for them to do : Picking tasks to test and writing scenarios for them -- Some boring checklists : and why you should use them even if, like me, you don't really like checklists -- Mind reading made easy : conducting the test session -- Make it a spectator sport : getting everyone to watch and telling them what to look for -- Fixing Usability Problems. Debriefing 101 : comparing notes and deciding what to fix -- The least you can do : why doing less is often the best way to fix things -- The usual suspects : some problems you're likely to find and how to think about fixing them -- Making sure life actually improves : the art of playing nicely with others -- The Road Ahead.

| Abstract
|
:
|
"It's been known for years that usability testing can dramatically improve products. But with a typical price tag of $5,000 to $10,000 for a usability consultant to conduct each round of tests, it rarely happens. In this how-to companion to Don't Make Me Think: A Common Sense Approach to Web Usability, Steve Krug spells out a streamlined approach to usability testing that anyone can easily apply to their own Web site, application, or other product"--Publisher's website.
