Abstract

This paper reports the results of a recent survey on usability testing involving nearly a hundred usability practitioners. The purpose of this survey was to identify the practices in usability testing. The analysis of those results allows to present a state of art in this domain and to identify the strengths and the weaknesses. As weakness, we have noted the lack of specific tools for collecting and analyzing test data; as strength, the promotion of this expert domain inside companies.
