Background on Usability Testing
Usability Studies / Usability Testing involves watching users interact with a prototype or tool. This is a type of qualitative user testing.
Qualitative User Testing is based on observations of a small group of participants. The goal is to identify frequently recurrent, major problems, with the user interface and improve these.
Whenever feasible and practical, prospective user interface designs for OpenMRS should undergo usability testing. It is also advised that production code regularly (e.g. monthly) undergoes usability testing so that it can continuously be improved.
