I found this page while searching google. Quite surprising too, since google usually shows relatively old results but this one is very recent! Anyway, quite informative, especially since this is not a subject many people are able to write about. Take care…

Website usability testing always seemed to be too complicated and expensive for most small business owners – Steve Krug comes to the rescue once again with his new book “Rocket Science Made Easy” – it’s an easy to read, how-to on running your own usability tests.

If you want to know how to do discount usability testing, this is the book for you. This “show me don’t tell me” book is laid out in a practical fashion that anyone can grasp.
The points about getting effective feedback from only a few people is presented so compellingly that it will “rock the world” of those who believe that you must spend big to get great results.
And the pithy, humorous writing style makes it an enjoyable read. It’s short enough that every member of your web team can find time to read it. If you’re a designer, give copies to your clients. If you’re a web manager, give a copy to your CEO. This will help them understand why usability is so important.

This book is just as convincing as the first one Steve Krug wrote (Don’t make me think!). It is an easy and entertaining read and on top of this hold’s all the truths you need to know for efficient do-it-yourself testing. I admire Steve Krug’s style of writing and especially his ability to condense the most important and valuable into some very nicely written chapters. This book contains the wisdom of an expert who easily reaches the beginner as well as the advanced usability tester, and his advice is very encouraging. Instead of listing a lot of theoretical stuff on sophisticated scientific testing, he focusses on making usability testing easy to understand and to put into practice and takes a much more pragmatic approach. The book offers easy to follow directions and many hints for successful testing and tweaking of websites.

As always, Steve at his best . . . pithy, short and sweet, loaded with practical tips and reminders, all couched in humor. A very quick refresher (or UX-Usability Studies 101), even for folks long in the field, and of course a great paperback to give to those who are new to the somewhat elusive “user experience, information architecture, interaction design, usability” world. Lots of great tidbits which re-anchor us to the core issues and keep us from getting too distracted with all the other “stuff. ” Only thing I wish he had emphasized a bit more, though he does speak to it when addressing the “How many users do you need?” issue, is that, even without a lab or a video camera or a laptop, you can still succeed . . . almost any type of “fail forward, fail fast” iterative reviews of concepts, wireframes, screen elements, flows, paper, models and/or digital, will unearth gold. Wonder what his next book, in, umm, nine years, will be about?!
