Boot Camp: Preparing and Conducting Usability Tests
Preparing for and conducting usability tests can be intimidating, but it
doesn't need to be. Learn practical strategies to successfully prepare
materials, and how to plan and conduct your test to get the most useful
results. Activities will help participants become more comfortable with
planning and conducting usability tests.

Workshop Spotlight
Comparative Usability Task Measurement (CUE-8)
You can’t manage what you can’t measure - but can you manage measurements
to generate reproducible and useful results? This workshop compares
practical approaches to usability task measurement. Participants will
carry out independent, simultaneous measurements of a website ahead of
the workshop. At the workshop we will compare results.
Facilitators: Rolf Molich, Tom S. Tullis, Jurek Kirakowski, and Jeff Sauro
