Acceptance Tests

“For large implementation projects, the customer or manager usually sets objective and measurable goals for hardware and software performance. Acceptance tests are a set of test cases specified for the software, with possible response-time requirements for the hardware/software combination.” (Shneiderman, 2005, p. 162)

Performance testing

Performance testing is a rigorous usability evaluation of a working system under realistic conditions to identify usability problems and to compare measures such as success rate, task time and user satisfaction with requirements.

Test Plan for Usability Testing

The Usability Test Plan describes the goals, method, and approach for usability test. The test plan includes several different components, from profiles of participants to an outline of a discussion with users.

A simplest test plan consists of a set of goals, a description of the logistics and methods and a set of questions to ask the participants.

User Surveys

User surveys are a means of finding out how the software or web site is likely to be used by a specific set of users, and who these users are likely to be.
