Guerrilla Usability Testing

Brighton, UK

Usability tests are an excellent way of discovering problems with a product or service. Commissioning a dedicated usability lab will provide a high degree of scientific rigour but obviously comes at significant cost. Instead of a single academic evaluation, why not bring your testing in-house and run it alongside your design and development process? Two or three quick-and-dirty usability tests will not only provide better results but will also allow you to iterate your product between tests, ultimately leading to a more refined product.

Usability testing needn't cost the Earth. In fact, there's no need for all that expensive equipment, a dedicated lab and or even expert evaluators. It's entirely possible to run a test at your own office, a cafe or even your test participant's home. In this workshop you'll learn everything you need to know about planning, organising and moderating your own guerrilla usability tests.
