UsabilityNet: Usability Report Formats
It is advantageous to use a standard format for writing up usability reports. The reasons for this include: your clients will be familiar with the layout of information in your reports; the structure acts as a checklist in case you've missed something out; reports from different labs are comparable; there is a common consensus as to what should appear in a report.

User surveys are a means of finding out how the software or web site is likely to be used by a specific set of users, and who these users are likely to be.
