US News published the 31 Best Careers in 2008 and Usability/User Experience Specialist made the list!
Take a look at what they said… There’s nothing ground breaking, but it does include a clear and concise explanation of what a usability specialist actually does!
When I think about ensuring good UI usability, I find that many feel that if you include usability in your software design cycles, you’re done with it. As we all know, over time Web sites and applications can evolve into something never imagined by its designer (even with the creation of design/branding/interaction standards). That said, a user interface can lose its usability and become a painful experience. Does anyone conduct regular Usability Checkups on their Web sites or applications? Are the any best practices relating to Usability Checkups?
