Great reference book for usability testing July 18, 2009
Gócza Zoltán Károly (Budapest, Hungary)
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
This book is a very thorough reference book for usability testing. It's a bit lengthy and covers lots of topics but very well structured so you can always jump to a specific subject if you have questions about it.
It covers most of what you need to know to start testing (from designing the test until analyzing it) and advanced methods as well (like playing the devil's advocate during a session).
The book is mostly focused on the methodology, though there are many practical tips and good ideas on how to improve in testing.
I love it as a reference book, I always find myself re-reading the book before and after conducting tests. I'd recommend it to professionals who are new to usability testing and also for practitioners who would like to deepen their knowledge.

Years ago, I taught myself how to do usability testing out of the first edition of this book.
It's now been thoroughly updated to reflect today's best practices.
Dana Chisnell is a leading usability professional, equally at home in the real world of deadlines and realities and in the world of academia. You'll find her practical, friendly approach throughout this book.
If you're new to usability testing, this book will take you step by step through what you need to know.
Even if you've been running usability tests for a while, you will find that this book is a valuable refresher and reference.
