About: Usability lab

An Entity of Type: settlement, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

A usability lab is a place where usability testing is done. It is an environment where users are studied interacting with a system for the sake of evaluating the system's usability. Depending on the kind of system that is evaluated, the user sits in front of a personal computer or stands in front of the systems interface, alongside a facilitator who gives the user tasks to perform. Behind a one-way mirror, a number of observers watch the interaction, make notes, and ensure the activity is recorded. Very often the testing and the observing room are not placed alongside. In this case the video and audio observation are transmitted through a (wireless) network and broadcast via a video monitor or video beamer and loudspeakers. Usually, sessions will be filmed and the software will log interac

dbo:abstract
  • Ein Usability-Labor ist eine Einrichtung, die über die Ausstattung zur Durchführung von Usability-Tests verfügt. In solchen Laboren wird die Usability (engl. für Gebrauchstauglichkeit) von Produkten überprüft, indem man Testpersonen Produkte gibt und sie Aufgaben mit den Produkten lösen lässt. Die getesteten Produkte können zum Beispiel alltägliche Gebrauchsgegenstände oder Medienangebote sein. Statt anhand des fertigen Produktes werden solche Tests häufig mit einem Prototyp durchgeführt, um die gewonnenen Erfahrungen noch in die weitere Entwicklung einfließen lassen zu können. (de)
