Speaker: Nicki Davis
About the presentation
Technical writing is a solution; what problem are we trying to solve?
Our goal is to make it easier for people to use a product to get something done. Usability testing is one of the tools we can use to achieve this goal. In this presentation, Nicki will describe:
- How the role of technical writer has changed from writing 400-page user manuals to working with designers to craft UI text.
- Helpful hints for planning and executing usability tests.
