In just two or three hours, it will provide you with all the knowledge necessary to organize and run your first user tests. The results will be instantly beneficial: For 10% of the budget required for a professional usability agent, 80% of the findings can be recorded. So, whoever wants to give software development a serious try…those who want to create a valuable service for their clients or their own company…those who would like to avoid bad investments in presumed killer features and/or products — if this describes you, you will find everything you need to know in this book.
