Choosing Participants
Test Set-up

• Choose 5-7 participants who represent the demographics of your site’s actual
visitors/user/customers.
• Remember that any testing is better than not testing at all, but that
testing with internal participants comes with a bias.

• Avoid long sessions, that fatigue both the participant and moderator.
• Guide participants through tasks chosen from real-life scenarios.
• Remain patient with the user yet in control of the test.

Techniques
Prompting as a reminder:
So...?
What are you seeing here?

Reading Material*
Probing questions:
Tell me a little more about…
Describe a bit more about…

Task Failure:
Don’t commiserate
Don’t tell a white lie

Probing examples:
Is that what you expected, or not what you
expected?
If you were at home, what would you do next?
You just said, “[participant quote].” Help me
to understand what you mean by that.
