Per Axbom answered

If you launch a product to a few different countries, does it make sense to do usability testing in all those different countries?

The quick answer is yes, it always makes sense to do usability testing where there are variations in cultural preconceptions, market maturity, language proficiency (you don't mention if it will be available in many different languages) and the like.

Whether or not you do usability testing in all countries of course also comes down to what resources you have and how you intend to make use of the findings. Many times I find it appropriate to launch and test iteratively along the way, making sure you have the budget to make continuous small improvements, making sure to have feedback mechanisms in place and placing more effort in testing and managing areas which clearly are more critical for the end-user satisfaction. But you'd never want to launch before you have something that you yourself are satsified with. My recommendation would be to do quick online tests to make sure you are not entirely off-base, and then make sure to set the iterative launch-measure-analyze-prioritize-fix process in motion.

Per is one of thoose people who knows "everything". At least it feals like that since Per is passionate about communication in general and web communication in particular. He has an overview of the web communication area that's amazing and at the same time ability to combine detailed hands on knowledge with strategic knowledge. I'm impressed :-)

Jag har anlitat Per som kursledare och workshop-ansvarig vid ett flertal tillfällen i samband med våra konferenser och utbildningar inom webbområdet. Per är genuint intresserad kring utvecklingen inom webb och hur man praktisk kan dra nytta av olika plattformar och tekniker för att kommunicera digitalt - något som vi och kursdeltagarna haft stor nytta och glädje av. Det är ett sant nöje att få samarbeta med Per och jag kan ge mina varmaste rekommendationer för liknande uppdrag.

During our mutual time @ XLENT, I had the opportunity to work with Per at several occasions. Per is deeply skilled, reliable, creative and always devoted to his task. Still, being modest and always down to earth, he has the gift to find the simplicity, when bringing brilliant solutions to his customers or standing in front of an audience. My warmest and most sincere recommendations for Per Axbom!

I was Per's manager at Ericsson while he was a consultant within web and intranet. Per had deep knowledge in his subject area. After a while I made him teamleader. Just before I left Ericsson I made a leadership assessment of Per and recommended him to the Ericsson Management Planning Programme, ready for next level, with outstanding "power of initiative".
