Ask anyone in the tech world and they’ll tell you that user testing is the key to good software development. Trong thực tế, that’s not quite true, because the key is actually good user testing. Users don’t always give you exactly the information you need. Or they may not give you all the information you need. Vì những lý do, you need to be able to do an excellent job of debriefing a user test with the users.
Debriefing basically means talking about an experience. Debriefing helps us understand a user’s thoughts and feelings during their experience with the software. And in software development, that means we can make the necessary changes to improve that experience.
Debriefing a user test effectively might require you to do several things. Cho một, it’s a good idea to start by setting the focus for the debrief. And later, you might have to bring the user back to that focus area. To get a general sense of the experience, you might ask for overall impressions. And to get more detail, you might ask the user to talk about the process of using the software. It’s also a good idea to acknowledge important issues when they come up.
