About This Event

[The UIE Virtual Seminars, User Interface Engineering's monthly series of online seminars, gives you the chance to hear the latest perspectives in the world of design from the field's premier experts. Instead of traveling to a training course, you and your colleagues can hear the latest insights on the most important design topics right from your office. Once you purchase the seminar, you can watch the presentation right on your PC screen. ]

However, it doesn't have to be that way. Useful insights can come just by having the chance to talk with and observe participants in the most informal of settings, such as cafés, trade shows, and the company cafeteria. You can get value from a quick test, even if you only have 2 days to pull it off, or don't have a working design yet. Traditional by-the-book testing has its merits, but you can still get valid, useful results by cutting out the time-consuming and budget-busting expenses.

Usability testing expert Dana Chisnell knows what it means to work by-the-book – she co-wrote "the book" (The Handbook of Usability Testing) with Jeff Rubin. In this seminar, Dana will break down the process of collecting user research data, exploring the must-haves, the nice-to-haves, and the certainly-can-do-withouts. You'll learn how you can answer your essential design questions using methods that would make MacGyver proud.

This presentation is perfect if you have yet to conduct your first usability test. If you're experienced with testing, Dana will show you some new ways to inject user research into those tight-on-resources projects that keep cropping up.
