Steve Krug

Spells out an approach to usability testing that anyone can easily apply to his or her own website, application or other product, in a book that explains how to test any design, keep one's focus on finding the most important problems and fix the problems one finds using the author's "the least you can do" approach. Original.

I like Steve Krug books and this is very good for those who want to know User testing as UX Designers/Researchers.

I’m a bit torn on this one. While I really enjoyed “don’t make me think”, this follow up seemed to follow the same pattern too closely. 

I often found myself noticing he was repeating himself not only from his previous book, but also repeating points throughout the chapters of this one. 

The script was helpful, the maxims were nice, but he should have known focusing on specific software while writing this would badly age certain parts of it.

Since this is just a visual process, I’m not sure why he didn’t reference a screen recording of the entire flow in his website, instead of the audio recording of the script.
