User Experience Testing kicks off across the Universities of Wisconsin

During the week of August 12, ATP kicked off User Experience Testing (UXT) at host campuses across the state. Attendees from each region were excited to see and help test the employee and manager self-service features in Workday.

More than 1,100 participants executed over 16,000 tests during the 10-day event.
