Subject:Usability Goals From:James Brown <jimb -at- SSINY -dot- COM> Date:Mon, 17 Oct 1994 17:36:39 EDT
I'm designing the documentation set for a new product and must
establish some usability goals for the documentation.
These goals are supposed to help establish guidelines for future testing.
Does anyone have experience with setting usability goals and then testing?
What are the pitfalls? Send me your war stories.
