When you think of usability testing, do you think about working with someone for an hour or two, watching and listening as they do a series of short, discrete scenarios where there is a clear ending or a correct answer for each scenario? For most of us that's a typical usability test. It's the type of usability test assumed by the Common Industry Format (ISO/IEC 25062, see http://zing.ncsl.nist.gov/iusr/). It's the type being discussed for the CIF-Formative (Theofanos and Quesenbery, 2005). It's the type that the various CUE studies have focused on (see http://www.dialogdesign.dk/cue.html).
