User Interface Evaluation/Thinking Aloud/Interview Analysis

=Results from 'Thinking Aloud' interviews based on R2=

The usability evaluation method 'think aloud' is the most affordable and efficient among numerous test methods. If one follows human centred design principles to go for ISO 13407, it is good way to get relevant issues fast.

11 Persons were interviewed out of 3 domains:


 * Scientists (5 Interviews)
 * Librarians (4 Interviews)
 * Secretaries (2 Interviews)

This is the first result across three person groups. To get a closer picture for one group at least 7 Interviews need to be taken.

The test documents containing all relevant tasks and notes from the interviews can be found here:
