Brighton United Kingdom 2008-11-29 Usability tests are an excellent way of discovering problems with a product or service. Commissioning a dedicated usability lab will provide a high degree of scientific rigour but obviously comes at significant cost. Instead of a single academic evaluation, why not bring your testing in-house and run it alongside your design and development process? Two or three quick-and-dirty usability tests will not only provide better results but will also allow you to iterate your product between tests, ultimately leading to a more refined product. Usability testing needn’t cost the Earth. In fact, there’s no need for all that expensive equipment, a dedicated lab and or even expert evaluators. It’s entirely possible to run a test at your own office, a cafe or even your test participant’s home. Who? This training course is taught by Clearleft’s Creative Director, Andy Budd. Andy is the creator of Silverback, the popular usability testing software for designers and developers. When? The workshop will take place on Friday, November 28th, 2008 from 9:30am until 5:00pm. Where? 28 Kensington Street is in the heart of Brighton’s trendy North Laine, within easy walking distance from the train station. How much? Places costs £345+VAT per person if booked before October 17th. After that, workshop places will cost £395+VAT per person. Places are limited to keep the workshop nice and intimate. 544 United Kingdom In this workshop you’ll learn everything you need to know about planning, organising and moderating your own guerrilla usability tests. 2008-11-28 false http://clearleft.com/training/usability-testing/20081128/ http://events.boxesandarrows.com/events/544 http://events.boxesandarrows.com/event/logo/544/clearleft.gif guerrilla usability testing, usability testing, workshop
