Prototyping Services
When you work on a new product or service or introduce a new product feature to your customer base, it`s very likely that your product concept and design will be based heavily on assumptions. Is that a problem? Well, often you start guessing how your target user wants to use a service or product and around those assumptions, you start designing. No surprise, many products or product features fail after their launch. Users find them difficult to use or even worse won`t get at all why they should use your product. In my input session, I will show you, how you can test product/service assumptions early with simple prototyping and testing. In the hands-on workshop, you will work on and test a simple paper prototype.
Paper Prototyping Rakuten Osaka
This document discusses paper prototyping and its benefits for early-stage usability testing. It recommends creating a paper prototype to test assumptions about a product or service design before launching. A prototype allows validating ideas and iterating on the design through user tests. Paper is a cheap and accessible material for prototyping, allowing anyone to draw a prototype and get feedback. The document provides instructions for developing a paper prototype, finding test users, conducting qualitative user interviews, and refining the design based on the feedback.
B D D Intro
This document discusses issues with how Test Driven Development (TDD) is commonly practiced and understood. It argues that TDD is often misunderstood as being about testing, when it is really about specifying behavior before implementation. This leads many practitioners to not fully benefit from TDD. The document recommends using a behavior specification framework instead of a testing framework to change how programmers think about TDD in terms of specification rather than verification. It provides examples of how a behavior specification framework could work using different programming languages.
Designing for (and with) New Technology
This document discusses designing for new technology. It begins by defining different types of "new" including new to the world, market, industry, company or individual. It emphasizes that new technology takes longer than expected and has unknown limitations. It recommends prototyping early, testing usability, and helping potential users understand the technology through demonstration and clear explanation. The rest of the document discusses managing user expectations given their experience with older technologies, giving the new technology a coherent personality, and establishing its meaning and value compared to existing alternatives. It argues that new technology needs clear affordances, metaphors and emotional resonance to be successfully adopted.
Open-Innovation-Facts-Fiction-and-Future
- The document discusses open innovation, which involves leveraging external ideas and technologies in business operations while also sharing unused internal ideas with other companies.
- While open innovation has potential, many companies have had limited success due to factors like not valuing outside ideas and lack of clear processes. Most companies also only focus on early product design rather than innovating across the entire product lifecycle.
- For open innovation to be truly effective, companies need to seek innovations at all stages - from initial ideas to production, marketing and sales - and build strategic networks to support innovation throughout the organization and with partners.

NASA CoECI Presentaion on Crowdsourcing and Challenges
The document discusses how NASA is harnessing the power of crowdsourcing to solve engineering problems. It outlines that NASA is using online challenges and competitions posted on its NASA Innovation Pavilion website to engage a global community of over 350,000 solvers. These challenges seek innovative solutions for problems like detecting asteroids or monitoring brain pressure in a non-invasive way. NASA has found success applying this approach, with one challenge receiving over 2,800 registrants and another improving an asteroid detection algorithm by 15%. Crowdsourcing allows NASA to leverage diverse perspectives to find more solutions.
The Testing Planet Issue 10
This document summarizes and discusses changes happening in the software testing industry. It notes that while testing has grown as a profession, there may now be too many "plain old functional testers" as more testing tasks can be automated. It predicts testing roles will be redistributed as developers take on more automated checking through practices like test-driven development. It also discusses how new architectures like SaaS and trends toward continuous delivery will require changes in how software is tested. The document argues the testing industry needs leadership to help guide these changes and ensure testing keeps pace with new technologies and ways of working.
Improving Website User Experience with A/B Testing Workshop
The document discusses an A/B testing workshop that was held to improve website user experience. A/B testing is described as a quantitative research method that tests different page variations on live website traffic to help understand user behavior and make better design decisions. Major companies like Etsy, Google, and Twitter are said to frequently run A/B tests on their sites. The process involves asking questions about the user experience, formulating hypotheses, defining test variations, collecting usage data, and analyzing results to inform design changes.

The two influences that have changed the nature of work are the continually evolving technology and all kinds of researched and invented tests. In the 1990s job performance was still searching for predictors that show workplace standard performance (Borman, Ilgen, & Klimoski, 2003). The world of work most importantly in the industrial and organizational psychology field focuses on human behavior in the workplace with the help of technology. New software’s and fast technologies have made an incredible change in the workplace and how the roles become more efficient and cost-effective in organizations. Databases and networking technology make it possible for operations to function effectively (Bridges, 1994). Additionally, new technology allows us to create automate both assembly and production lines to help cut human labor to increase production. As we grow in our work environments, services and technologies along with new trends have allowed the workforce to emerge and grow. The economy is on the rise with different organizations and firms
Historically providing testing for different reasons still questions the data obtained and the variables. Researchers have done very well isolating tests to perform what it is intended to measure. Testing is used widely to fill certain job positions and seek certain characteristics in an individual for specialized careers.

The French doctor specialized in a neurological lab in Paris then went to explore the field of psychology (Binet’s Intelligence Test, n.d.).
