  • San Francisco, CA (1888PressRelease) November 19, 2011 - In an effort to increase Usability Testing Awareness and Discussion two Usability Industry Leaders are teaming up in a Usability Giveaway. Featured on UXMag.com's website is a giveaway with over $700 worth of User Testing.

    User testing or Remote Usability Testing is the process of observing the honest reactions of everday people as they interact with and use a website or Mobile App and try to accomplish simple main functions. Often used during all stages of development User Testing provides valuable feedback as to what does and doesn't work at the most basic levels. Additionally it can be used to "fine tune" designs and process flow once the basics have been decided and created.

    Steve Krug, author of the books "Don't make me think" and "Rocket Surgery Made Easy" says that "Anyone who's ever watched a usability test knows that they work remarkably well. Sitting someone down and having them use what you're building while you watch is the best way to ensure that it will actually be usable." as well as "I really do think that the web would be a lot better if everybody was conducting their own usability testing, We'd run into a lot fewer headaches. It inevitably produces great insights for everybody on the team."
