User Experience Registry for Generalizable Usability Assessment
Lin Wang · Electronic workshops in computing · 2018
Usability assessment is a crucial component in human-centered design (HCD) throughout the systems development lifecycle (SDLC). Sound usability assessment ensures users to operate the system effectively, efficiently, and with satisfaction. However, in the reality of frequent releases and tight development schedules, formative testing is often reduced and summative testing eliminated. To address these challenges, this position paper proposes a framework for a user experience registry as a solution to aggregating data collected from formative testing, with the goal of improving the robustness and generalizability of the findings based on such data.
