FAQs about Agile Usability Testing
What will you need from my team?
We’d begin with a planning meeting where we learn more about your business goals and familiarize ourselves with your in-process design. After that, we would only need your prototype prior to running sessions.
Can we make design changes on the fly?
Our research team will communicate with your development team during each session, so we can decide together if we want to adjust the design mid-stream. This allows for easy bug fixes and constant communication on usability issues.
How late can I deliver the final prototype?
Our agile testing process keeps the research and development teams in close contact, allowing us to start our test preparation before we receive the final prototype. As a result, you can deliver it as late as the afternoon before our testing sessions.
Can my team observe testing sessions?
Yes, we encourage your team to observe sessions so that you can hear directly from users and act quickly on their feedback. This also facilitates easy collaboration between our team and yours.
