The mission of “Usability” Foundation is to help individuals and organizations to understand and use qualitative and quantitative data. Our goal is to support organisations, designers and researchers to improve their performance and effectiveness through shared knowledge and guidelines for decision-making processes. We bring opportunities, technology and tools to people around the world to learn how to perform the right usability testing, web and mobile UX, collect, systematize, secure and use data to reach the most effective results possible. As a core activity, we also provide education, training, prequalification and remote job opportunities for testers.
Usability testing, also called user testing, is a process in which a group of representative users test how easy it is to use a particular design. It could be done for different types of designs – of a product, service, website, etc. When you test the usability of your design, you identify flaws and problems and get vital insights about how functional, usable and desirable it is. Based on the results, you will be able to efficiently find solutions and make improvements. The outcome is enhanced users experience without waste of resources, time and workflow.
In brief, data improve people’s lives. Data is either equal to or can significantly boost knowledge. And knowledge is the main key to success. Knowledge allows you to make well-informed decisions based not upon guesses, but good solid data. Data collection and analysis increase efficiency, because they allow you to effectively determine your strengths and find solutions to problems.
“Usability” Foundation was founded on the principle that sharing knowledge makes the world a better place.Since then, we have been building a platform to do just that. We provide access to free useful resources and knowledge which will increase productivity and build a brighter future for organisations, individuals and their communities.
On usabilityfoundation.org, everyone could learn how to leverage the power of good design, great UX, usability testing, data collection and analysis and digital solutions.
We also create remote job opportunities by training and educating testers and different QA positions thus working for economic and employment stability. Work-from-anywhere positions are especially wanted because of the freedom and flexibility they offer. Given the state of today’s workplace, having the ability to work from anywhere truly enables people to be passionate about what they do for a living. We give individuals independence which supports mental health and changes their lives for the better.
