Synopsis:

Students will learn the basic principles of user interface testing in the context of User-Centered Design. The course covers the most important topics in this field so that students can run their own (either quantitative or qualitative) user interface tests. Another important part of the course is the topic of disabilities that users can suffer from. The tutorials cover the entire cycle of conducting tests (incl. infrastructure, ethics concerns), running tests and methods for its evaluating.
