User Experience Programme

Direct referral is one of the most powerful drivers of software sales. That’s a compelling reason to regard user experience as an essential step in every software development cycle. In delivering a high-quality user experience, you increase the commercial potential of your product, while reducing support costs.

Integrating user-experience design and testing into the development process helps to ensure that the end user’s point of view will be reflected in the final application design. When considered at the right stage, feedback from user-experience testing usually suggests small choices that can make big improvements. This feedback is cost-effective to act on at the right point in the production cycle, but costly to implement if treated as an afterthought.

To support developers in creating better mobile software products, Forum Nokia offers a user-experience evaluation service. Evaluations are made by qualified user-experience professionals and are conducted in partnership with an external test house. The basic framework for evaluation is documented in our user-experience evaluation model.

The evaluation service provides a comprehensive report on the usability of each submitted application. Each report details potential problem areas and offers clear guidance on what measures the developer can take to improve the application’s quality.
