Results from 'Thinking Aloud' interviews based on R2[edit]

The usability evaluation method 'think aloud'[1] is the most affordable and efficient among numerous test methods. If one follows human centred design principles to go for ISO 13407[2], 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.
