I would prepare myself on how to do usability testing during the design
process. If you haven't done this before, a good place to start is
reading and following the instructions in Redish' and Dumas' book about
usability testing. I loaned out the book, so I can't give you all the
data right now, sorry. The book also contains some sections on how to
start up a new project with usability in mind.
