ATUL offers a range of services including

Usability Testing [Download our Fact Sheet on Usability Testing]
Usability testing is invaluable in learning how real users are interacting with your systems, which are often designed from the organisation’s, not the user’s, perspective. Observing and analysing the behaviour of end users undertaking realistic senarios can help understand how your website is currently being perceived and used, and thus how you could improve the user’s experience.

Mobile Testing 
ATUL can bring its testing facilities to your organisation allowing us to evaluate your system as, and how, it is used by your own people.

Expert Usability Evaluations 
A team of usability professionals can perform a thorough examination of an existing system from the perspective of a user’s activities. Our multi-disciplinary team performs a structured walk-through to identify major usability issues, which may be affecting how well the users can achieve their goals using your system.
