Usability testing is very important to anyone that has his
or her own website. Usability testing allows the website owner to know if his or
her website is easy for the user to use. There are a couple of things that one
should consider when doing a usability test: learnability, efficiency,
memorability, errors, and satisfaction. Learnabilty is how easy or hard it is
for a new user to use your site. Efficiency is how fast a user can use your
site. Memorability indicates that if a user can remember how to use your
website after returning from not using your site for sometime. It is important
to do usability testing frequently. The difference between a website that has done a solid usability test and a website that has not done a usability test is that the website that has done the usability will be more successful because it will include features and functions that the user thinks is useful and easy to use. You want people to come to your website,
and by doing usability testing, your website will able to attract people to it.
