Rocket Surgery Made Easy: The Do-It-Yourself Guide to Finding and Fixing Usability Problems
Steve Krug · Steve Krug (New Riders) Paid Beginner
This is the short, practical manual for actually doing a test yourself, no training required. Krug walks you through running a simple session in a morning a month, and hands you the scripts, checklists, and a recording setup so you are not inventing the process from scratch. It pairs perfectly with the Nielsen article: one tells you why five users is enough, this one shows you exactly how to sit down and run it.
- You can run a useful test in roughly a morning a month, no lab and no research team needed
- Comes with ready-to-use scripts and checklists so you copy a working process instead of guessing
- Focus on finding the few most important problems, then fix them with the least you can do
