Dealing with User Experiences
If is not enough to confirm software conforms to requirements and passes established acceptance tests.  Successful software projects engage, entertain, and support the users' experience.  The goals vary from project to project, but no matter how robust and reliable your software is, if the user community does not embrace it business can slip out of your hands.

  • Learn how to elicit real usability requirements from users.  Techniques such as story boarding and task analysis enable teams to identify system attributes and quality factors, enabling users to gracefully solve their problems with the software you are designing.
  • Testing professionals, programmers, and users collaborate to blend the requirement, design, and test cycles into a tight feedback loop.
  • Learn how to identify a small subset of functionality to test with a small selection of users to get high value at low costs.
  • Usability testers can take advantage of naïve questions from novice users as well as the tunnel vision and bias of domain experts.

This course shares examples of usability testing for a variety of technologies including mobile and web based products.
