Book review: Usability testing
While publishing a book review a little while back (that book was called How Reliable is Your Product?), I mentioned that I rarely do book reviews, simply because I don’t have enough time to read the books thoroughly. A couple of days after posting that review, another book showed up on my doorstep, and this one merits coverage as well.

While publishing a book review a little while back (that book was called How Reliable is Your Product?), I mentioned that I rarely do book reviews, simply because I don’t have enough time to read the books thoroughly. A couple of days after posting that review, another book showed up on my doorstep, and this one merits coverage as well.
I admit that the book—Usability Testing of Medical Devices—caught my attention because I am familiar with one of the authors, Michael Wiklund. Michael has written lots of articles for MDDI, and they are often are highest rated articles.
One of the best things about the book is that it’s not written like a traditional text book. It’s written using language that makes it an easy read, breaking down complex concepts, making them much more understandable. It starts with the basics of medical devices and goes through the entire spectrum of test. That includes risk management, costs, environments, documentation, and so on.
If this is an area that’s essential to your business, you might want to give this book a look.
