SIG: Introducing and Promoting Usability Testing in a Corporate Environment

Organizer

Lora Davenport, CompuServe

A direct result of the need for user-centered design and testing is the challenge of establishing and evolving usability methodology as an integral part of the development process within the corporate environment. During theis SIG, individuals who have had a direct impact on establishing and growing usability efforts in their companies will share their successes, failures, and lessons learned.

The SIG will begin with a brief introduction to the issues, followed by two 30-minute breakout sessions on different topics. Participants will choose the topics that interest them most. The SIG will end with a wrap-up session summarizing the discussions from each area.
