Overview: This paper tells about focus group and user studies. The focus group which is also known as a marketing focus group, is a group brainstorming session run by a moderator. The marketing person works to get the group to discuss how a product might make them feel - to guide marketing and advertising decisions - just as much as what the product needs to do. User studies are one-at-a-time working sessions run by a usability professional. The usability pro works to find the points where the user feels frustrated in using the product - to guide product development decisions - as well as the points where the user achieves success in completing a task.
