Creating Final Usability Reports
The document provides guidance on the required elements for building final reports, including a cover, abstract, table of contents, purpose of test, research questions, results/findings, discussion, recommendations, and appendices. It emphasizes that the abstract should be a brief yet comprehensive summary that allows readers to quickly understand the contents of the report, and discusses best practices for writing abstracts and executive summaries, including keeping them concise, coherent, and non-evaluative.
