User Testing Toolkit

Background

An increasing number of Alliance libraries have either begun performing user testing or have an interest in doing so. Due to the increasing interest in user testing resources, the DUX Team created a User Testing Toolkit Project Group to create these webpages. After the project group completed its charge they disbanded. The DUX Team maintains the toolkit.
