Usability In The News

Usability Quote of the Day

May 23, 2012

There's something very odd going on here. If designers made completely unrealistic assumptions about the physical world when designing technology, then we would blame them (and likely sue them) for technical incompetence. Yet when they make grossly unrealistic assumptions about human nature... we don't blame the designers, we blame the unfortunate people who are just trying to do what the design requires. -- Kim Vicente, The Human Factor, p. 45.

Online international Journal of Usability Studies

This journal should be a great source of usability information ...

"The Journal of Usability Studies (JUS) is a peer-reviewed, international, online publication dedicated to promote and enhance the practice, research, and education of usability engineering.

Its aim is to provide usability practitioners and researchers with a forum to share:

empirical findings,
usability case studies (research case studies, not business case studies),
opinions and experiences (regarding the practice and education of usability engineering),
reports of good practices in usability engineering."
