review 1: Very straightforward and practical guide to usability testing. It's basically a best-practice manual, so there's a lot of "do this, it works" and a little bit of theory / follow-up references. It achieves its goal simply and effectively. Mainly this is about the mechanics of running a discount usability test, but there are also surprisingly good bits about how to sneak in usability tests despite counter-productive politics. Tips like making sure people with design agendas don't facilitate the tests, and "provide good snacks in the observation room" give it a neat you-can-do-this-even-if-your-organisation-is-dysfunctional angle.I haven't run a usability test according to this process yet, but I'm now sold on trying it. If it works as well as the book describes, I'll be... more back to add another star to the review.
review 2: This is the missing book in world of usability testing. While it is truly a companion to Krug's previous book, I would argue it can be used as the companion to almost any noteworthy UX books covering the theory of creating functional software. Here Krug outlines a method for testing and implementing a testing cycle that is not only effective, but practical. Practical being the key. He notes in the book and I think those of us in the real world of development would agree, that minimizing the amount of time and resources needed to do testing is pivotal in convincing others to participate and getting organizational "buy-in" up the chain of command. less
