Usability Testing


Usability Testing We had to find a website that offered information about a city and then preform different usability tests for the site. I wanted to use a horrible website I found for New Orleans. I thought it would be easier to do with a bad website but my prof made me change to a better one. We presented the results from all the tests on a blog.

A/B testing (sometimes called split testing) is comparing two versions of a web page to see which one performs better. You compare two web pages by showing the two variants (let's call them A and B) to similar visitors at the same time. Showing them to similar visitors and at the same time is very important.
