whether it's a one man show or a small UX agency forced out of their labs because of social distancing; this template will help you plan, manage & carry out a professional usability test from home..because you know #stayhome

✅ The Prototype

Prepare your prototype for testing (inVision, Marvel,
Proto.io,
⁠
Principle, Prototype, etc...).
Copy the public share link and test it in different browsers, using wifi & data.

✅ The Test

Design your test: write down tasks, define candidate profiles...
Copy, edit & print
this template
⁠
for note taking or draw one on a paper.
carry out the test tasks yourself to see if the prototype covers all required flows. After fixing issues(if any), make sure the link still works.

✅ The Candidates (Automated Process Using Gmail + Google Calendar 👾)

**this process assumes that you connect your Gmail & calendar to Coda
Recruit candidates. Use the
Candidate Recruiting Table
⁠
to track your process.
When a session date is confirmed, push Schedule button to create the event and Hangouts call link.
**Tip: it's always good practice to have a couple extra candidates because some people are bound to face some unexpected issue and not make it.

✅ Recording Logistics

For you to capture the user's screen, your voice & theirs I highly recommend
OBS Studio
⁠
; an awesome open source project for video recording & live streaming. Windows, Mac & Linux. (🎉 long live Open Source!)
download OBS.
add your built-in mic as an audio input source. (how to? ⬇️)
add a new display capture. (how to? ⬇️)

Test your setup:
Start recording. Open up your browser, launch a video & talk. Record your display using OBS.
in OBS : file → show recordings. Play your video & make sure that you can see the screen, hear the video sounds & your own voice.
