Fast & Lightweight Usability Testing Experiment (FLUTE)
Download as PPT, PDF1 like685 views
This document discusses how anyone can conduct simple usability testing for applications in an easy and inexpensive manner. It recommends recruiting a user to test the application while being video recorded on a couch using a borrowed camera and room. Only $45 would need to be spent on snacks and incentives. The results of the testing could provide opportunities to improve the application based on direct user feedback. Regular testing, even after small changes, is suggested as a way to develop a more user-centered approach to application design.
