Usability Evaluation Basics
Completion requirements
Understanding how a person interacts with your site is key for further development. 'Usability' is a combination of factors covered in this short article. When you visit or view a site, what factors are key for your continued use? Think about the dashboards you have seen. Do they seem intuitive to use? Do you like how they function?
Working with Data from Testing
Usability evaluations can capture two types of data: qualitative data and quantitative data. Quantitative data notes what actually happened. Qualitative data describes what participants thought or said.
Once you have gathered your data, use it to:
- Evaluate the usability of your website
- Recommend improvements
- Implement the recommendations
- Re-test the site to measure the effectiveness of your changes.
