Subject:usability testing as a career From:Mandy Douglas <mandy363 -at- YAHOO -dot- COM> Date:Thu, 12 Nov 1998 15:23:43 -0800
I'm a student who is majoring in technical communications. One aspect
of the field that really
interests me is getting feedback from customers about the product and
its documentation--otherwise
known as usability testing. Technical writers do various amounts of
usability
testing, depending on the company. What kind of career options are
available for doing usability testing on a full-time basis? What
types of software companies have usability labs? What is this person's
job title?
If you have any information on this subject, please enlighten me!
Mandy
