The new usability method is a persona-based, task-based, heuristic-based review that simulates usability testing and the think-aloud process that goes with it. Although most usability experts believe strongly that the only way to really know if something works well for a given group of users is to have representative users try out the site through usability testing, there are times when the scope of the project as well as time and budget constraints do not allow for that needed testing. The success of this new method in a study sponsored by AARP suggests that others might want to adopt or adapt it as well.
