USABILITY ENGINEERING IN THE PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT LIFECYCLE

We employ a wide range of usability methods to help clients make a useful and usable product. 

#

During initial design, we conduct needs finding research, interview users in their work environment, establish user requirements, perform competitive analysis and task analysis.

During implementation and testing, we perform usability tests employing scenarios, mockups, paper and automated prototypes, and thinking aloud protocols.

During evaluation, we perform benchmark tests, gather feedback through field observations and check for compliance with standards and guidelines.
