DialogDesign - Comparative Usability Evaluation - CUE
NONE OF THESE THINGS IS JUST LIKE THE OTHERS...
You may be surprised. Even a task as (seemingly) transparent as usability testing Microsoft's hotmail.com elicited different data based on different approaches to usability testing.
Molich, Ede, Kaasgaard and Karyukin (2004) reports on the findings of the Comparative Usability Evaluation Study (CUE-2). This meta-analysis describes the usability testing approaches and results across nine independent usability groups asked to conduct a "standard" usability test of hotmail.com. The teams included six industry labs, two university-based teams with commercial activities and two student teams. Each team was provided the same project background information and access to a "Marketing Liaison" for
further clarification or feedback on their proposed methods.

Lessons Learned: Version 2
Throughout my years of learning and professional practice, a few fundamental principles have emerged that define much of my philosophy, work and actions. I’m hoping that these grounding principles will provide insight and consideration to those that seek to navigate and thrive in the profession of Experience Design.

Jef Raskin
Welcome to JefRaskin.com
Jef Raskin died on February 26th. While the public is hearing the story of his key role in creating the Macintosh, there is a lot to more know about Jef's contribution to the way we think about user experience. From his view that good design was a moral duty, he helped us transform interface design into an engineering discipline. Jef will be remembered for information appliances, humane interfaces, and a passion that computers can be better.

Normas para la usabilidad
En 1990, Bevan, uno de los principales gestores de la definición ISO de usabilidad informaba de las dificultades para implementar directrices(1), entre otras razones porque suelen ser vagas y separadas del contexto en que deben ser utilizadas.
Esta dificultad parece afectartanto a novatos como expertos(2), lo que finalmente termina incidiendo en que sean escasamente utilizadas. Según Ivory (2003) sólo el 33% delos diseñadores las usa.
La escasa utilización de las guías esta relacionada además con su gran número y el diverso grado de confiabilidad de sus fuentes(3).
Guidelines for Designing Usable World Wide Web Pages
Los intentos por resolver estos problemas han involucrado proyectos de gran alcance como EvalWeb (5) y WebTango (6) los que tiene como una delas principales fases de su trabajo el generar medidas operacionalizables, es decir, indicaciones medibles que no estén sujetasa ambigüedad. Aunque su propósito sea la evaluación automática, entrega un marco de instrucciones para evaluar la usabilidad de un sitio.
Por otra parte, respecto de la utilización efectiva de directrices y su combinación con patrones una interesante propuesta(7).
Y finalmente, aunque pueda salirse del tema de la documentación, te envío el enlace de un importantísima reflexión respecto del concepto de usabilidad y de como su ambigüedad genera directrices, pautas y guíasambiguas. Para resolver el dilema se plantea un modelo en tres capas yc omo cada un de ellas puede aportar en las fases de desarrollo de unproducto (8).
