Abstract

Usability testing is a key research method in human-computer interaction (HCD. When students are designing for others, usability testing is an opportunity to learn how the design is currently working and how it can be improved. This usability testing plan template gives individual students or teams a structure to help plan, conduct, and analyze data from a study. The template walks students through the process of planning a study through a series of questions and planning materials. The template is especially helpful for students new to usability testing and can be adapted and adjusted as needed.
