After my first post%u2019s philosophical bent, here%u2019s something specifically targeted at startups. In preparation for a team meeting to discuss our usability testing strategy, I assembled everything I could find on the most current best practices for lean usability testing. This was originally a text file, but here is the blog post version with proper attribution (let me know if I missed anyone).
Last Tuesday I attended Andres Glusman%u2019s presentation on lean usability testing at the NYC Lean Startup meetup (at Meetup.com%u2019s HQ).
Of all the startup events I%u2019ve been to so far in NYC, none was so dense with interesting and actionable information as Andres%u2019 presentation. So I would highly recommend you check out the slides embedded below.
This is a good collection and summary of resources for usability testing. I’m hoping to start using some of these soon, in particular I’m interested in trying out usertesting.com, let me know if you have any experience with that site.
Thanks for introducing userTesting.com. Haven’t used it before. Just a thought… The screening questions seem a bit limited. For example, the demo video uses the scenario of a pet owner looking for a gift for his/her pet. Would be relevant to test pet owners, but the screening questions do not seem to carter for that requirement. The other thing is I guess for non-moderated testing, the think-aloud protocol will be used. Will need to consider the Hawthorne effect. Very often, participants forget to think aloud also.Happy testing
