WebWord Weblog Posting Posting Date: October 09, 2002 Wind-Tunnel Economics -- "There has been an explosion of interest in the last few years in the economics of human beings as they really are; not the "lightning calculator of pleasures and pains" characterized by Thorstein Veblen a century ago, but the habit-ridden, time-bound, emotionally-driven creatures that we know ourselves to be." (Comments: When are we going to have Wind-Tunnel Usability?)
Reader Comments...
Isn't usability wind-tunnel development? We take something that may or may not have been designed well and run it through the gale force of pseudo-real-life. All the bits that come flying off are reported as errors. The alternative is to take the product out onto the real raceway of a production system and let those pieces fly off without any protection to the end users.
