If you’re new to mobile usability testing, fear not. It is not as hard as you might think but there are some key differences to testing a traditional website in a lab that you need to be aware of.
These slides are from a presentation by Tania Lang at the Designing for Mobility Conference in Melbourne on March 1, 2013. The talk outlined 10 things about mobile testing tools, technologies and methods that we have learnt from testing everything from a Quit smoking app with a woman whilst breastfeeding her 5 week old on her sofa, to testing a mobile car insurance website in a lab.
This talk is for anyone who wants to conduct usability testing on their mobile site or app and will focus on methods, tools and technologies. It draws on experiences and lessons learnt from testing mobile sites and apps over the last year including a public transport journey planner, a mobile insurance website and a mobile app to help pregnant women quit smoking.
Overview of usability testing methods for mobile devices and apps. Includes information on usability, explanation of challenges introduced by the mobile context, and practical tools and techniques.

Deeply Embedding UX Practices Into Your Organization by Grafting them Into Your Agile Process
Mark Ferencik's presentation from the UXPA Boston 2016 Conference
Designing for Education: an iPad Case StudyUXPA Boston
Tablet technology is widely touted as the next wave in education. Last year, many school districts shelled out hundreds of thousands of dollars for the new technology. With hundreds of educational-focused applications available in the iTunes or Google Play stores, one may assume that these applications are superior to the traditional methods. Educators cite the engaging and motivational benefits of the iPad and other technologies in student learning. With this question in mind, a team of researchers at Bentley University compared the engagement benefits from traditional paper-based books and a tablet interactive text application “Inkling.” Participants explored this new interactive textbook – Inkling – and the same content in a traditional paper textbook. The case study explored the pros and cons in moving beyond traditional education methods. For our research, we worked with higher education students who owned and used an iPad regularly. We gauged their emotional engagement in the education activities – or ‘homework’ assignments – throughout the sessions. We obtained their emotional engagement data by combining SMI’s eye-tracking technology with Affectiva’s Q-Sensor galvanic system measurement gloves and Microsoft Product Reaction cards. Using this technology, we were able to pinpoint the moments in which students had an emotion response (engagement) with the tasks. At the end of each session, we discussed the qualitative aspects of the interactions, including participants’ expectations and experiences using the iPad and traditional paper textbook to complete the tasks. Our hypothesis was that the iPad interactive reading technology would be more engaging to students and consequently be a better tool to aid their education. In our presentation at the UPA Boston Conference, we will present the sometimes contradictory findings from our case study. We will make recommendations based on these findings for designers – for both traditional textbooks and digital textbooks to keep in mind. We will also explore several open questions our field must tackle as we continue to migrate educational materials to digital forms.

Make It Fast: Delivering UX Research to Agile TeamsUXPA Boston
One of the biggest challenges facing UX designers working with agile teams is providing user research in a quick, effective way. Design sprints take less time than in the past and development makes it difficult to slip user feedback into the mix. Traditional research takes time to design, set up, recruit for, run and analyze. Since that could span several sprints, “traditional” research simply doesn’t work in today’s rapid pace development, and the user experience suffers. Many organizations are tackling this challenge.
We’ve brought together 4 panelists who are using methods to address the issue of rapid UX research. Panelists come from both in-house teams and agencies. We’ll share our approaches and offer practical advice about how to do it, why it works and what could be improved. We’ll cover both unmoderated tests and more traditional moderated tests. You’ll learn some new approaches and get a chance to ask questions or share your own experiences.

Book Formatting: Quality Control Checks for DesignersConfidence Ago
This presentation was made to help designers who work in publishing houses or format books for printing ensure quality.
Quality control is vital to every industry. This is why every department in a company need create a method they use in ensuring quality. This, perhaps, will not only improve the quality of products and bring errors to the barest minimum, but take it to a near perfect finish.
It is beyond a moot point that a good book will somewhat be judged by its cover, but the content of the book remains king. No matter how beautiful the cover, if the quality of writing or presentation is off, that will be a reason for readers not to come back to the book or recommend it.
So, this presentation points designers to some important things that may be missed by an editor that they could eventually discover and call the attention of the editor.
Transforming Brand Perception and Boosting Profitabilityaaryangarg12
In today's digital era, the dynamics of brand perception, consumer behavior, and profitability have been profoundly reshaped by the synergy of branding, social media, and website design. This research paper investigates the transformative power of these elements in influencing how individuals perceive brands and products and how this transformation can be harnessed to drive sales and profitability for businesses.
Through an exploration of brand psychology and consumer behavior, this study sheds light on the intricate ways in which effective branding strategies, strategic social media engagement, and user-centric website design contribute to altering consumers' perceptions. We delve into the principles that underlie successful brand transformations, examining how visual identity, messaging, and storytelling can captivate and resonate with target audiences.
Methodologically, this research employs a comprehensive approach, combining qualitative and quantitative analyses. Real-world case studies illustrate the impact of branding, social media campaigns, and website redesigns on consumer perception, sales figures, and profitability. We assess the various metrics, including brand awareness, customer engagement, conversion rates, and revenue growth, to measure the effectiveness of these strategies.
The results underscore the pivotal role of cohesive branding, social media influence, and website usability in shaping positive brand perceptions, influencing consumer decisions, and ultimately bolstering sales and profitability. This paper provides actionable insights and strategic recommendations for businesses seeking to leverage branding, social media, and website design as potent tools to enhance their market position and financial success.

3. The Scenario:
• Testing on Smartphone or iPad
– Participants are in the lab
– Observers are all over the place
– You want everyone to view the mobile device
screen
– You want everyone to view the participants’ faces
– You want to record whole shebang to video

5. Litmus test to determine Setup 1 or 2
Setup 1 is required if:
• You’re not using an iPhone
• You’re testing behind a “serious” firewall.
• (But you can also use this setup with an iPhone if you want to, which is what
we’re doing today.)
Setup 2 can be used only when:
• You’re testing on an iPhone or iPad (although
there may be similar technology with Android OS)
• You’re not behind a “serious” firewall

Materials
• 2 laptops, 1 with built in webcam (mixing Macs and PCs is ok)
• 1 tiny camera (we like IPEVO for $69.99)
• 1 smartphone holder “sled” (we had one custom made at a plastics company for
$150 using a photo from the web, here’s a cooler one: http://www.mrtappy.com/index.html)
• Webex w/ VOIP option (no, not GoToMeeting. Webex.)
• Screen capture software (we like Camtasia for Mac, Morae for PC)
• Any smartphone
• An app, website, or prototype
• Patience, fortitude and the spirit of adventure! (You know
how technology breaks down during lab testing sometimes? Multiply that by a
factor of precisely 5, representing the number of additional potential points of
technology failure compared to a regular lab test on a computer.)

the screen recording, and the other one host the phone image.
• Do you know the video format your business partners can use on their
machines? For example, if you’re recording with Camtasia for Mac, you
can’t convert to .wmv without lengthy file conversion resulting in terrible
quality. Pick the right recording software for the job.
• Are all your observers able to log into WebEx? (Some company’s firewalls
get crabby about it, requiring special IT interventions.)
• Are you able to permanently turn off your screensavers on BOTH
machines? Neither of them will have any keyboard action for the whole
sessions, and will eventually go to sleep. 60 minutes of screensaver video
is no fun. You can always download the app called “Caffeine” which will do
that for you on a mac. Its free.

Helpful Tips Learned from(horrible)Experience:
Tip #1
• To avoid a dozen hours of file transfers, always
record the video on the same machine on which it
will be processed and edited..
Tip #2
• Don’t even think about attempting to copy raw
recordings onto a network “between sessions.”
Make sure you have enough space on your hard
drive for the total amount of video you will end up
with, plus extra, by a lot.

18. a) On the phone image sharing laptop, launch a browser & start
your WebEx meeting and phone call.
b) On WebEx, turn on the video cam option next to your name
(this will capture the participant’s face). Now you should see
2 windows: the participant’s face (small window) and the
smartphone screen (larger window). Share your screen.
c) Drag images where you want them. Optional: Minimize the
smaller window with the face image so the participant
doesn’t have to watch themselves. WebEx: Participant menu > Assign
Privileges > Participants Tab > Uncheck Participant List checkbox > Assign button
d) Use static electricity to stick a piece of printer paper onto the
screen of the participant laptop*

23. • In theory you can use an external webcam instead and
leave the laptop closed. But that’s just one more item
to carry, and one more potential break-down point.
• And even if you do use an external webcam, you will
find yourself constantly opening and closing the laptop
to make sure the meeting is running and the
screensaver is turned off and the participants’ face is
lined up in the view… whereas the paper is easily
“peeked behind”, completely ignored by the user, and
causes less distraction overall.

• Sometimes you get the reverse of what you
want in each window. You may have to reverse
the plugging-in and turning-on order to get
the right thing on the right screen. It’s a
mystery why it only happens sometimes. And
believe us, it will revert back to the original
way the next time to try it. Embrace the
mystery.

25. Once WebEx is running on the Image Sharing machine….
a) Launch a browser on the video recording machine and join
the meeting. Make sure everything looks how you want it to
look.
b) Launch Camtasia (or your favorite screen capture/editing
software).
c) Make sure Camtasia is capturing VOIP audio
d) Start recording your session

29. • WebEx allows for 2 video inputs simultaneously, GTM does not. So
if you’re dead-set on displaying the participants’ faces alongside the
smartphone image, you must use WebEx.
• GTM
– Pros: Very easy interface and automatic VOIP with every meeting. We
have found it to be more stable than WebEx mid-meeting and if you
use their recording service it will convert to .mov on a mac and .wmv
on a PC.
– Cons: User experience is less consistent while joining a meeting, and it
only allows for single video input so you can’t display users’ faces
• WebEx
– Pros: Supports 2 simultaneous video inputs and provides VOIP.
– Cons: Your company must purchase the VOIP option. User interface is
overcomplicated. It will record to a proprietary format which needs
conversion before loading into a video editor.

Why WebEx and not GTM?

30. Phones are…meh. There are pros and cons.
• Pros
– Phones in general are pretty much a sure thing. (knock on wood)
• Cons
– A phone tap is one more thing to carry and one more potential failure in
the chain if you connect it wrong. For observers listening through a
phone, a phone’s placement is rarely between the moderator and the
participant – usually that’s where the computer is, and the phone is off to
one side.
VOIP uses the computer’s mic, which is usually
placed more advantageously by
default, between the moderator and the

Helpful tips learned from(horrible)experience
Tip #4
• Do a test recording to understand how loud
your volume will be.
Tip #5
To record without VOIP or a phone tap
• Put the lab phone on speaker so that the observers can hear
you, and just allow the recording laptop to pick up the voices in
the room via its internal mic. Mac audio we recorded like this
has been better than either the VOIP or the phone taps.

Tip #6 – If you’re a hard core minimalist.
If you only have 1 laptop, sled & smartphone
• You could run the webex meeting, VOIP and Camtasia on the
same machine that the smartphone is plugged into. But you
risk grinding the most robust machines down to a
halt, requiring restart between participants.

– On Computer: Quit Reflector App.
– On Computer: Restart Reflector App.
