Design Objective: Determine how effectively customers will use a new feature on the fedex.com website. Design Solution: Run a usability test on the new feature with Canadian and US customers to test for usability and provide feedback to designers, software developers, and marketing. Result: Usability testing allowed FedEx to identify issues and changes necessary before a product launch. The analysis of the results from all participants identified common stumbling blocks and critical issues followed by recommendations for addressing them. |
