Make money from home with usability studies

Monday, November 27th, 2006

The goal of usability studies is to determine what can be done to make an interface efficient, satisfying, and easy to use, to learn, and to remember. Usability evaluation involves employing various methods designed to glean this information in an iterative process, from the early stages of a web site’s development through its active use. These methods may include:

Surveys : A questionnaire is posted online for some period of time to gather feedback from users. Questions may focus on how they currently use the system and what functionality would they like the system to have in the future.

Focus groups: A focus group typically involves a moderator, a note-taker, and 6-10 participants. Guided by a set of questions, the facilitator moderates a discussion about the system, while the note-taker and perhaps a tape recorder keep track of the conversation. Topics may include: how the participants currently use the system, what other systems they use instead, and what they would like the system to be able to do in the future.

Contextual inquiry: An observer watches the participant working with the system in the context of his or her typical work environment. The observer may ask some questions at the end of the session, but the most important aspect is observation of real use of the system in the work environment.
