Usability assessments

Comparing service to User

Assessing usability problems criticality

Reporting usability problems

Suggesting solutions


User device coverage –check usability with test automation

• Different devices, same functionality, same user experience

• Responsiveness

• One test library, many test objects

• Little to maintain

• Increasing number of objects

• Start early

• Repeat daily / by build

• Tests differ just a little

• Reporting

• Also other interfaces than UI


Apps to be tested (Web)

Test automation from cloud or devices

• Almost a quarter doesn’t plan agile

testing at all (is that agile anymore…)

• Mainly testing is planned in high level

(this is maybe the definition of agile

testing…)

• 85 % of company level testing is

documented (to some extent)

Company Level

• Not just

• Scrum

• Kanban

• …

• Organization level
