Guerrilla Usability Testing for Agile/Lean
Download as PPTX, PDF2 likes1,767 views
The document discusses guerrilla usability testing, which involves conducting informal user testing with limited resources and time constraints. It describes capturing user data through simple methods like using an accomplice to observe participants and take notes. The key is to gather quotes, identify themes in the findings, and provide a sense of how common issues are based on the sample. The overall goal is to gain insights into the user experience despite constraints of agile development processes.

- 14. Playing back the data… Quotes It’s critical to capture anecdotal evidence and commentary in the form of verbatim quotes when possible. Quotes set the context, underscore authenticity of the respondents, and add colour to the feedback when presenting to the brand/client/business/etc. Andrea Lewis, Managing Director - @dazework
- 15. Playing back the data… Themes Formalise the findings into big-picture issues that gather the information into conceptual blocks and a clear order. These specific themes might have sub- themes and should drill down to formal business recommendations. Andrea Lewis, Managing Director - @dazework
- 16. Playing back the data… Propensity Based on the data collected, provide a “likelihood” of an issue or behaviour to occur. Given the sample size, guerilla testing may not be statistically significant. However, it is important to provide a frequency of occurrence. Andrea Lewis, Managing Director - @dazework
