Usability Testing
The systematic observation under controlled
conditions to determine how well people can use
the product.
Very important to recruit participants who are
similar to your site user for your usability testing.
Remote usability testing: leaner, quicker and
cheaper than lab testing..
Lab testing is very worthwhile but expensive.
