"The process of repetitive testing, whereby the tester is doing the same tests each day, is in my opinion not that useful. In my experience this can achieve little to no positive result. What occurs is the dev team gets unnecessary reports that clog up the development cycle."
It's not the same tests every day. It's more of an agile approach where you make sure your solution first of all is solid and launch, then test. If you have proper visual designers with UX background or UX designers who actually know their way round in the various tools that is used by designers, you really don't need much more. I have yet to see a project using UCD approaches that actually gave any specifically good results, where as when we didn't use it our solutions where much better and needed much less change afterwards. and that is both for large scale projects and small scale projecst. That is at least my experience. I have yet to see any valuable output coming out of a usability test in those 99% of the projects that are not really trying to change any new ground. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
