Conducting The Test

Tip: try this out with a friend a day before so you can iron out any kinks in the flow..and really, you'll feel more confident if you've done this before 😉

✅ Last steps on testing day:

call / send reminder emails to your candidates. (you can go to your calendar, click an event → email guests).

test the prototype again and make sure you cover all the flows.

check the prototype link.

make sure you have your note taking template ready.

❤️ while you can use another display & take notes on your computer; this doc assumes you have only one display. Besides, users could be intimidated / distracted by the sounds of your typing while they are attempting to complete a task. Simply scribble down your notes on the paper. It's not hard to put them in the sheet later.

✅ Testing Procedure

Launch OBS.

Use the

Time Tracker Table⁠

⬇️ to see schedule. (It will be filled automatically if you have used the

user recruiting table⁠

as explained before.)

click the hangouts link to access the virtual meeting space.

Note 1: Make sure that you got your candidates' consent for recording their session.

Note 2: This test does not record the users' webcam; only their screen & audio. It takes another webcam to record their facial expressions.

Before beginning the test: ask the user to share their screen.
