General Goals Ensure creation of systems that are:
easy to learn and use satisfying to use provide value to the user

Benefits of Testing Create historical record of
benchmarks Minimize cost of service calls Increase sales Provide competitive edge Minimize risk

Limitations of Testing Always an artificial situation Tests do not prove that the product
works Participants in tests are rarely fully
representative of target population Testing is not always the best
technique to use

Basic Method1. Form a hypothesis2. Choose participants3. Conduct test4. Analyze results

Types of Tests Exploratory Assessment Validation Comparison

Exploratory Tests Explore preliminary design concepts Use a prototype of system User follows a simple scenario User should "think aloud" Test monitor asks opinion of user
during test

Assessment Tests Evaluate how successfully a design
has been implemented Use the implemented system (or
part of it) User performs specific tasks Quantitative measures are collected

Validation Tests Compare product to a benchmark Use a completed system Users perform specific tasks Quantitative data is collected for
comparison with benchmark

Comparison Tests Determine which of 2 versions is
better May be used at any stage of
development Side-by-side comparison of 2
approaches Should propose radically different
approaches

disadvantages Consider:
Test Monitor Observers Participant
