This book is a very handy reference guide for anyone who is just getting into the field of usability, and will need to conduct their own studies. It has many nifty tips for test planning and lots of information those just starting up in the field.

4.0 out of 5 stars Rock-solid introduction to usability testing., Jun 7 2000
By 
J. Grey (Indianapolis, IN USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Handbook of Usability Testing: How to Plan, Design, and Conduct Effective Tests (Paperback)
The author provides a supermarket of information from which you can choose your approach and method for performing usability testing. I had a little usability-testing experience when I bought this book. It quickly gave me some ways to streamline my process, plus some ways to shore up my process where it was weak. The most important thing this book gave me, however, was an understanding of when to use "quick and dirty" usability testing and when to perform a more thorough study.

4.0 out of 5 stars If you will be performing a usability test, read the book., Aug 27 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Handbook of Usability Testing: How to Plan, Design, and Conduct Effective Tests (Paperback)
Mr. Rubin provides some of the principles of User Centered Design and explains how to perform a usability test session to ferret out some of the usability problems. A wonderful guide for someone who will be performing usability tests and would like to be able to refer to some guidelines, report formats, and technique suggestions.
