  • 1629 Accesses

Abstract

In this chapter, we’ll focus on testing products with people with disabilities. We’ll start by reviewing what makes a good product and see how to recruit people with disabilities. We’ll then examine usability testing best practices. Most of this will be covered in a BBC iPlayer Case Study.
