[...] Quand on développe un logiciel en ligne, rien n’est important comme la compréhension de l’usage qu’en font ses utilisateurs. C’est pourquoi, parmi les différents types de tests, les tests utilisateurs jouent un rôle clé. Des experts comme Steve Krug et Avinash Kaushik les recommandent, et Google en a fait une habitude.

Search?! Why does the webmail from freakin *google* not have half way decent search capabilities? Chat? Did we really need chat integration more than the ability to easily and accurately search our 2 gigs of email? They can’t just point the google search algorithms at my inbox?

Having usability labs is a prerequisite for any large software company and if they don’t have their own they will almost certainly have access to someone else’s. What I am interested to know is whether Google has a separate and quasi independent usability team? Marking your own homework is not a good idea and although Google are renowned for a creative culture I wonder if that can lead to conflict in the development process.

Love the comment by the guy who thinks testing is unnecessary. He/she is no doubt responsible for some of the beautiful and unusable interfaces we use every day!

@2: Caribou was the name for GMail when it was only available internally for use by Google employees. It is not, as suggested in @12, the code name for the next version of GMail.

and with all that gear & “extensive testing”, they actually released the ‘reply all’ feature as it is in Gmail. and not fixed it.

come on, i bet you (at google) are reading my emails anyway, so you’ve seen how many times i’ve cursed your reply all implementation, when having to resend messages…

I’m not sure whats the big deal here? I know of quite a lot of companies that do UI testing of their “alpha”/to-be-released products against their internal users as well as select external contributors. This is like just another Google worship post.
