I am a big fan of remote testing. The comfort level of users is so much higher and this leads to more authentic responses. It's easier and easier to do tools.
The tools can be a challenge - but here's a tip for a formal remote lab: We…
Good comments here.
I use a combination Uservue (combined with Morae), and Usertesting.com for live sites. The latter doesn't let you define specific testers.
There's also OptimalSort's Chalkmark and Treesort for earlier testing on…

Does the website need a breadcrumb? Isn't the navigation structure enough? The problem with breadcrumbs styled as "following the real visitors path" gets to complicated for the site you discribed.

Filtering is the key. If there's only a limited number of statuses that these 6000 items can take, then you should pretty easily be able to filter them down to make sense
In a previous project we used an idea of a "lense" a circular,…
It's at the core of design, and that's what excites me about it.
Design these days seems to mean flourishes and techniques; and so real design is now covered by a crap word: "Usability".
So, I'm working on a site with tons of content. We've architected it to work for two very different user groups we've identified (unskilled novices who come to the site once or twice a year with urgent information needs, and subject experts who use the site repeatedly).From a backend perspective, each individual piece of content (e.g. article, video, regulation info) can sit within several categories and topics and will also be given arbitrary tags by our client CMS team.Breadcrumbs are doable,…See More
