build the right thing with the rite method | rapid usability testing
DESCRIPTION
How can you test your designs faster and more cheaply? How do you gain valuable user experience insights from one test subject? To answer these questions and more, CTUXPA is proud to introduce Kyle Soucy from Usable Interface, who will take us through what's involved in rapid turnaround testing (aka RITE—Rapid Iterative Testing & Evaluation). You’ll learn: how to utilize RITE to test quickly and cheaply how to evaluate your test results to iterate to your next solution how to conduct a through observer debrief and report findings quicklyTRANSCRIPT

Notetaking & Observer Debriefs
It’s not just about the findings...
implications matter
Observation: The user didn’t realize they were notlogged in and couldn’t access documents they wanted.
Implications:
- “W4 a way the user can access documents without logging in.”
- “H2 make the log in link more visible.”
- “Wif we didn’t force the user to log in?”
Example
H2 make these box entry areas clearer; H2 make it obvious they’re exclusive; Wif we only allowed one way to search for repair info?
