|sessionAbstract=Usability testing is a means for determining how well people use something, a website in this case, for its intended purpose. The process involves observing people using the website in as realistic a situation as possible to discover errors and areas of improvement. Conducting a usability test of your website can be invaluable in improving its functionality and ultimately its purpose for your users. This session will walk participants through the process of usability testing and include information on:
# deciding what needs to be tested
# determining how many users to involve in the test
# identifying tasks that will be performed by the user in the test
# developing questions that will be asked of the users before and/or after the test
# deciding whether to use unobtrusive or obtrusive observation
# preparing observer guidelines.
Resources on usability testing will also be shared.
