"From the moment you know enough to talk about a product," writes Barnum (Southern Polytechnic State U.), "you know too much to be able to tell if the product would be usable for a human being who doesn't know what you know." The text describes the part usability testing plays in a user-centered design process—one which creates products that work for real users performing real tasks. It includes elements of disciplines including computer science, cognitive science, cognitive psychology, and human factors engineering, and is intended for content specialists, Web developers, graphic designers, technical communicators, and information architects who are already doing such testing as well as for those who are considering it.
