I am not trying to be arrogant if that is how it comes across then I am sorry.
I am sure most people here could write a whole book (and some probably have) about why usability testing is good. So why is it so bad that I can write one about what is bad? If it works for you then great. I have done a lot of UCD my myself and I just realized that what is being tested is not something that have transcendence into the actual design of the product/service in any way that it is valuable for the customer. Furthermore I have observed that those most avid defenders of UCD are people with an academic background and not a design background. Yes I am generalizing of course that is not always the case, but there is something there that I think should be addressed. When people defend the UCD process. But this was not really about my points I also wanted other people to give their principles. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
