Description
This tutorial, based on the Carpentries curriculum here: https://carpentries-incubator.github.io/rapid-usability-tutorial/index.html, teaches participants the basics of rapid usability assessments—a good way to quickly identify areas for improvement in any user experience.
Whether your users interact with your software product via command line or GUI, usability assessments can be a useful tool. These tests can be completed quickly and provide quantitative data like users’ success rates, speed, or satisfaction when completing a task.
In this hands-on tutorial, participants will learn to define a task for moderated assessment, recruit and prepare for their study, conduct a usability assessment, and analyze results. There are no prerequisites for this tutorial.
