What is usability testing?

angelcc216

Usability testing is testing for 'user-friendliness'. Clearly this is subjective and depends on the targeted end-user or customer. User interviews, surveys, video recording of user sessions and other techniques can be used. Programmers and developers are usually not appropriate as usability testers.

应该翻译成功能性测试还是界面友好测试，可用性测试

可用性测试是一种用户友好度测试,无疑地,这会依赖最终用户或客户的主观性感受.(一般做可用性测试时)用户会试用软件并大致了解主要功能,会采用一些屏幕录像方式或其他技术手段.编码人员或开发人员通常不是合适的可用性测试人选.

分析:
可用性测试在家电行业已经非常发达,一个产品的质量最终决定于功能的实现和用户的满意程度,而可用性是用户满意程度的重要组成部分,所以其重要程度一般大于系统功能测试(只是软件行业还没有家电行业成熟).
既然是测试就不会是主观性的测试,即便我们是要测试某种主观感受,这是截然不同的两码事.这也是此文的谬误最大之处,混淆了测试手段和测试对象.如果度量分析参与者的主观感受,其实于软件过程的度量是一样的基本原理,有兴趣的可以直接参阅家电行业的资料,一般你会目瞪口呆的,呵呵,...
