Research Topic 195 / 200
Prototype testing fails to reflect real conditions
Clean demonstration spaces and guided use leave real-world problems undiscovered.
Three-step solution method
- Use field observations to identify relevant spaces, objects, people and sources of disruption.
- Build task simulations around representative conditions.
- Compare task performance in the lab and in the field to identify missing design requirements.
Key Deliverables
- Field Conditions Checklist
- Task Scenarios
- Comparative testing
Verification Approach
Record errors and task interruptions as environmental conditions change.
