Paper or electronic?

I did some recent low-fi/mid-fi testing using Silverback, which worked really nicely. Of course, you're limited to Mac. Not sure what the Windows equivalent would be.

Yours and mine both.

AB testing non-public low-fi prototypes

Hi All

Just wondering if anyone has conducted AB testing on prototypes? As we're reviewing low-fi prototypes they can't be linked to the client domain.

My personal preference is to do one-to-one interviews but I need to review this as an option.

I'm aware of Ethnio but the client does not want to take this approach of recruiting directly from the site.

Re: [IxDA] IXDA notifictions - privacy issue

Hi Matt

Just a data point to let you know that I also got the flood of Out Of Office messages and I did NOT post a message to the site. It might have been a response to an email I sent via the list - I dunno. Just a data point.

Best, --Alan

Use cases and usability testing

We use RUP to manage our development lifecycle which means our requirements are written in the form of "use cases". These are short user-centric functional deliverables.

Does anybody have any experience of using RUP documentation, and specifically use cases, as a structure for usability testing? It seems like it would be a good fit and tidy way to organise things.

IXDA email fail; IXDA website fail

So this morning I got an email message with the subject "Event notification for Mike Starr from IxDA" and the entire content was "A item to which you are subscribed has been updated" (not a link).

I have no idea what that item I'm subscribed to is. So I go to the website and since this was my first interaction with the website since the overhaul, I have to go through the whole process of requesting a password change since I did not previously have one. So 20 minutes later, I'm logged on to the website. Cool.

IXDA notifictions - privacy issue

Not sure where to address this...

I've changed some settings of email notifications today and, as a result, I suddenly reveived dozens "out of office" autoresponders informing me, which member is on maternity/paternity leave, which is no longer with his/her company, which just took vacation etc.

IXDA event notification?

Hello IXDA volunteers/admins,

Any idea what this could mean? If not, throw it on the bug pile, I guess.

Automotive User Experience and Mobile User Experience groups

Hi all,

I mentioned in passing in anothe thread the Mobile User Experience group I setup on linked in and got some very positive responses from interested parties, so I thought I'd also make you all aware about the Automotive User Experience group also.

I think Automotive UX will be a very exciting field over the next five years and it kind of feels like the MUX market was many years ago.

FYI I don't profit from the groups at all so I hope this doesn't appear as promotion, as the groups are there to benefit the members.

RIA Usage Datas

Hi @all,

I am currently looking for links to studies and datas about RIA usages and especially new usages on SaaS applications and web 2.0  websites.
I would like to find demographic data on how users perceive functions and tools like drag and drop, widgets, dashboard, etc.

In advance, many thanks for your help
