I mentioned Steve Krug's new blog a little while ago. Hanging off that is a forum for people to share their usability testing experiences. You may even get a response from Steve if you pose a question...
Or failing that, from one of the many eager usability testers contributing.
The current categories:
- Questions?
- Testing success stories
- Testing horror stories
- Polls
Steve Krug says UserTesting.com is "Perfect for quick-and-dirty usability testing". Try it out yourself. I have just set up FIVE free tests for the readers on this blog. The first five people who enter the following promo code on our website "usabilityed" will get a free website usability test. NO strings just a free test. Enjoy. Jim - UserTesting
ReplyDeleteThanks Jim. Hope this is for real :)
ReplyDeleteAnyone who gets one of these freebies, please leave a comment.
I'm a regular usertesting.com user myself and really rate it - see my post from November 2010.

Hi Marius.
ReplyDeleteI'd advise you to read the free chapters of Steve Krug's book which cover conducting user tests (http://usability-ed.blogspot.com/2009/07/dont-make-me-think-by-steve-krug.html) and watch his video demo (http://usability-ed.blogspot.com/2010/02/steve-krugs-usability-test-demo.html).
Then just dive in an try it. Once you've got a few tests under your belt, take a look at a few of the articles I've tagged as usability testing tips.
Good luck!
