RE: Usability testing of web application

Usability testing is done for" user friendliness". In this we check how comfortable the customeri s in going thru the application. suppose for an example while logging in he forgot his password, in usability testing u have to check whether there is an "forgot password option" and if we click this it is asking for secret question or not and many things u can test like there should be minimise and maxmise button for a window....and so on

RE: Usability testing of web application

Let me start with small example:

You have given right user name and wrong password for yahoo or gmail

What would you expect? surely it would display an error message as user name and

Password does not match. If it does not gives you any message its not an user
friendly.

We can conclude that how ease the application is?

does it provides any error handling messages, and it should be easy to learn and
also easy to operate.

This kind of testing is typically done by the users of the product.
