Now, as you are finished building the prototype you need, you can finally do the actual test! | |||
If you test with paper prototypes it wil be useful to get an additional person before you start: besides of doing the actual testing, somebody needs to be the "computer" and change the prototype according to the users interactions. | |||
If your testers never tested an prototype before they are likely to wonder what is going to happen. So it is important to give them a brief introduction. A very common thought is that ''they'' are going to be tested if they are clever enough to figure out how your software works. This causes them distress and it causes you less useful results because they don't act normally. So tell them: | |||
''"Please note, that the product/software/website is going to be tested and not you! Occuring problems are part of the process and not a reason to worry. As well you should not worry about hurting our feelings - because we do this to find out what we could do better"'' | |||
They probably will feel better now. Tell them as well that they can cancel the testing if they feel uncomfortable ant any given moment. | |||
