Thursday November 17th, 2011 @ 10:30 PDT, we hosted a complimentary webinar titled: "Remote Prototype Testing with UserZoom". We showed the best ways to not only develop your own remote prototype test, but also implement with ease. Additionally, we discussed results from a REAL case study we ran using two popular prototyping tools!
Remote Prototype Testing and 'traditional' remote testing differ in that your prototype is not a live webpage, but is a hosted interactive experience for your participants in a secure testing environment.

Sure we’d love to run testing, but…
UX & Usability research tends to
be expensive
Time is not on our side
Target audiences are all around
Budget issues anyone???
9. What we mean by Remote Prototype Testing
Remote UnmoderatedTesting
•Hundreds of users agree to participate in a study
• In their natural context
• From geographically spread locations
• Users try to complete tasks(or goals) + answer questions
• No human moderation needed
• Our browser bar connects users’ browsers with a server
10. What you can test with Remote Prototype Testing
Of course, low and
high fidelity
wireframes/prototypes
…but also:
Mock-ups
Images
Multimedia
18. However, not to be used when…
Getting highly
qualitative data
In-person
interviews are
important
Note:
Not all research
goals can be met
19. Remote testing and Agile Development
Characteristics:
Speed
Iterative
Requirement analysis
Design
User testing
Remote Testing is
here to help!
29. Case Study Explanation
• With each tool, Axure and Just In Mind, we ran a 30 user
remote usability study
• The Axure study featured a low-fidelity prototype for an
e-commerce company
• The Just In Mind study featured a high-fidelity prototype
for a banking company
• Both vendors generate hosted, trackableprototypes
30. Axure Study Initial Questionnaire
1. How often do you shop for clothing online?
