Usability Testing: A research methodology for evaluating products or services by testing them on real users. By learning about the target users’ behavior and preferences, a usability test aims to identify problems in product design and uncover opportunities for improvement.
Minimum Viable Product (MVP): The most basic version of a product that contains just enough of the vital features for early product testers to try it out and give feedback on it for future development.
Human-Computer Interaction (HCI): A multidisciplinary field concerned with understanding the interaction between humans, or the user, and the computer. It encompasses the design, evaluation, and implementation of interactive computing systems for human use.
Prototype: The preliminary version of a product, system, or interface. It is used to test and validate design specifications and usability before a final model is made. It is a key aspect of the design and development process in numerous fields.
“Usability is like love. You have to care, you have to listen, and you have to be willing to change. You’ll make mistakes along the way, but that’s where growth and forgiveness come in.”
-Jeffrey Zeldman, Principal Designer at Automattic
“I have not failed. I’ve just found 10,000 ways that won’t work.”
