Usability Testing: Learning from the Work of Others -- "How can we construct tests that find the important usability problems as quickly as possible? And how can we improve our practices so different teams will consistently find the same problems?"

What I find most interesting about CUE1 and CUE2 (as opposed to Kessner's follow-up study) is how naive all the participants were about what would be required to produce comparable results. Everyone involved assumed that the test results would be similar, rather than almost completely different.

The only real result (so far) is the work that's gone into the Common Industry Format for test reports. I'm not sure what Rolf is teaching in his class, but I like the irony of how it will "fine-tune" your testing skills, when his own research indicates that much more than fine-tuning is required. Anyone take his class via NNGroup that would like to report on it?

If the usability camp did manage to get that level of result, it would be the first itty bit of computerdom to do so http://www.pbs.org/cringely/pulpit/pulpit20030508.html
