Technology is part of our everyday life, with a number of technological products and services supporting or replacing numerous business processes, addressing every day needs and facilitating a range of functions, from education and work to leisure and caring for others. Each of these technologies need to ensure that they are usable by the wider population and that their use and operation do not routinely exclude certain social groups. With this Special Issue we want to draw attention to the usability testing research process, and the need for embedding the values of equality, diversity and inclusion to enhance the role of technologies towards a fair and just world.
