Timothy Ballew of 8-bit Bear Consulting will discuss the importance of iterative usability testing during video game development. Topics covered during this presentation will include a definition of usability, how gaming usability differs from regular usability, why usability testing is not the same as QA, examples of gaming usability testing and other relevant topics (time permitting). This meeting is organized by Austin UPA, a chapter of the Usability Professionals Association.
