To ensure that a website is easy to use, the webmaster is the person in charge of testing it. They do this by making plans and organizing events related to its usage besides hiring those who are going to be involved in the process; they also set up an environment for carrying out these tests as well as facilitating them. Their job includes defining what needs to be achieved through setting targets while at the same time establishing evaluation methods based on different audiences which may access it; this means that they should know who can visit or what might happen when someone does so. Another duty performed by a webmaster during usability testing pertains to finding out people with appropriate expertise and skills who would take part in such an exercise – individuals having certain qualifications or experience necessary for accomplishing particular tasks related to building systems designed for users’ convenience or satisfaction etcetera. The test should be carried out under good conditions where everything required is readily available – all resources needed have been provided thus ensuring the site functions properly hence attaining its purpose.
