• Not only did they do the visual design, but they are then
able to turn that into code and build out the website
• They have deep knowledge of user interaction (UI),
going beyond the look and feel and delving into best
practices for how users interact with everything from
menus and buttons to links and colors
• They’ve already thought several steps ahead in terms of
the mobile experience, ensuring that your site will look
great on phones, tablets, laptops, and large monitors
• The content on the sites they show you isn’t filled with
Lorem Ipsum placeholders, but copy that they wrote
themselves… typo-free, grammatically correct, and with
a friendly but persuasive voice that compels the user to
take action
• And what’s that? You have a company softball team?
Turns out they were all-state in high school, can play
any infield position, and hit .425 with 24 homers

• Galvanic skin response
• Heart rates
• EKG/ECG
• EEG
• Wave forms and conscious states
e.g. Beta, Alpha, Theta, DeltaBlue – Emotional
• Affective data
• Facial recognition
• Not decoupled from other data
• Emotion first

The Automation of Testing
● We see a WHOLE lot more testing being done
● Companies that were doing some testing, now do much more
● Companies that were never doing testing, now do it
● Software is helping automate the (tedious) process of testing
● Enabled companies to scale their research, do more with less
● Testing embedded in the design process (test early, often,
quickly, cost-effectively)
User Testing Automation
