I totally agree with what Jay Kumar is saying, that suddenly so many companies are offering usability that it's getting unreal.
It also quickly becomes obvious that these companies do not know what they are talking about when they start to refer to "Usability Test" as "User Acceptance Test (UAT)", which to them basically involves giving the prototype to users to use, and get them to write down their comments, and fill in a likert scale survey to rate how good it is. There is no moderator, no actual test, no asking of users to find out their motivations etc.. As for UT being offered for 49.99, which company is actually doing that? It'll be interesting to find out... ________________________________________________________________ *Come to IxDA Interaction08 | Savannah* February 8-10, 2008 in Savannah, GA, USA Register today: http://interaction08.ixda.org/ ________________________________________________________________ Welcome to the Interaction Design Association (IxDA)!
