In this talk, Susan discusses several techniques that she has used to evaluate the usefulness and desirability of interfaces. The best techniques to evaluate usefulness involve open-ended interview questions regarding current processes and pain points, followed by a usability evaluation of the interface and then a reflective interview discussing the benefits and drawbacks of that solution to their personal situation.
