About this course
Usability testing of medical products calls for representative users to perform tasks with a given product to assess its interactive qualities. Desirable interactive qualities include such attributes as ease of learning, ease of use, and ease of avoiding and recovering from a use error. The primary goal of a usability test is to assess whether users can operate a given product safely and effectively.
