Usability Testing
Training in usability testing: Understanding the fundamentals of usability
PTG Global’s approach to usability testing uses our world class user interface design methodology, XPDesign™, to ‘reverse engineer’ existing user interfaces to identify the fundamental causes behind observed usability issues.
Using a design method lets you create clear and practical solutions. You’re no longer making numerous ‘micro’ recommendations, but rather fundamental design changes that drive performance.
Usability testing with XPDesign:
-
Identifies the fundamental usability issues that will improve user performance
-
Cuts user interface change requests down to one or two cycles
- Provides clear, justifiable designs to solve usability issues
Problems solved through PTG Global's training in usability testing
