Determining Deliverables Understanding what is due and when it is due keeps a project moving forward. Design efforts are often inefficient when undertaken without a specific deadline. A deliverables list can be created within a detailed schedule elaborated on from the schedule overview or can be a separate check list with draft, review and final dates for each item. Update the team and client weekly, as deadlines shift and change throughout the process. Creating a Usability Test Plan Gathering actual user feedback throughout the process is one of the best ways to develop and refine your project to improve the user experience.
Usability testing is one valuable means of obtaining firsthand data through observation.
The moderator observes the participant moving through the site completing predetermined tasks. The usability test plan takes the project plan as a foundation and identifies where various forms of usability testing can best fit into the overall process. Creating a QA Plan QA, or quality assurance, is one of the most often skipped steps of the Web development process. Usually, during the HTML production phase, the site is checked by the production artists on different browsers and platforms to make sure the pages don't break. This is valid testing during production, however it is usually not enough, particularly for highly-trafficked sites.
