Executive Summary
Why Test for Usability?
Usability testing will save staff time, money and administrative overhead by defining what users need, how they find information and what information they are searching for. By listening to users, understanding how they interact with your site or tool, and responding to the needs users actually articulate programs can avoid spending unnecessary time and resources and better serve their users.
The legal aid community is constantly evolving to improve and expand its services. From document assembly libraries to case management systems, organizations are taking on projects that will increase efficiency and advance their missions. Project management is vital to this work. Project management reduces costs by improving efficiency, mitigating risks, and optimizing resources.
Why do we need a process for closing a project?
What to Test - Site goals, user tasks, testing scripts and metrics
When conceptualizing a website we rarely articulate what users must do, instead, we focus on what our site does.
When to Test - Beginning, Middle and End
Usability testing is a priority when launching a new project, and it is vital to test your interface at each level of the design process.
You should conduct user testing when:
Creating or redesigning a site;
Changing the goals of your site (i.e.:, adding donation capacity to your site);
Who to Test - Participants
The idea of finding individual participants to test your site can be overwhelming and a stumbling block to routine user testing. However you do not need hundreds of testers to obtain good information.
The Nielson Norman group indicates that 5 users can uncover 85% of the major usability issues, and 15 users can find 100%.*
Site Goals
To meet each goal, users may need to engage in different tasks, such as navigating different paths. By articulating your goals in concrete terms, you can focus your site’s design and what to test.
Example Site Goals
Receive donations and present mission
Provide legal information
Reach out to potential donors
