The UX five-second rules: guidelines for user experience design's simplest testing technique

摘要

Increasingly, professionals are challenged to do more with less. Unless you work at a mature organization that supports a rich user experience (UX) discipline, it is likely that someone not trained in the domain is playing the role. It is not uncommon to find ineffective surveys or misapplied tools and techniques. This book bridges the gap for those leveraging the five-second test, helping those that may not be versed in the domain to be effective with the approach. At first glance, one questions whether there is enough content to even constitute a book, let alone demand guidance. However, Doncaster did his homework evaluating how poorly leveraged the technique is in the wild. An example online resource is UsabilityHub.com, which makes it easy to test designs on people. This is a great example of an effective tool that, in some cases, is poorly leveraged.
