This post describes a short and simple usability test.
There are many possibilities to spend time with a potential user. I describe a usability test I would recommend on base of my personal preferences and my personal experience. I call it the 3-F Test. You can perform it even if you don't know anything about usability.
I describe a test of a web portal but the same script may be easily adapted for PC applications, smartphone apps and other kinds of software. It is possible to perform a test without software with simple prototypes, screenshoot images and even with paper, pens and scissors. Unfortunately you must be an experienced usability expert to get plausible results. Of course any test produces a lot of results but in this case it is difficult to get the information which is correct and relevant for a dynamic application.

Традиционная просьба посмотреть английский до того, как это ушло на другие ресурсы. Если попадутся совсем бредовые ошибки, удалять комментарии всё равно не надо, я лучше их скрою. Да, если кто-нибудь надумает переводить на русский, просьба всё-таки связаться со мной. А то в прошлый раз вышло что-то странное. Хотя, там английский текст был довольно мутный.
