    referral tool for laws
    and articles
Research questions
 ›  To what extent can
    people interact with this
    app?
 ›  Can it be improved?
 ›  If so: how?
Roles & activities
 ›  Test participant
 ›  Moderator
 ›  Observer(s)
Scenarios
 ›  Formulate scenarios,
    tasks and questions

  (about 5 min.)
Moderator
 ›  Let users perform the
    tasks as independently
    as possible.
Observer(s)
 ›  Pay close attention to
    what the test participant
    does while performing
    the task(s).
 ›  Note down every aspect
    and detail.
Divide the roles

Let test participants
grab some coffee!
Moderator & Observer
 ›  Example scenario:
  ‘You are at a client. You are
  wondering what the
  exceptions are regarding the
  window tax. You want to
  look this up on your tax
  app.’
Mock-up demo:
