What does participating involve?

Every evaluation is different, but typically we ask you to perform tasks on a particular web product while we observe your reactions and success rate. After a session we’ll often interview you or have you fill out a questionnaire asking your opinion on whether the product was easy to use.

How soon will I be asked to participate?

Sorry, we don’t really know that. It just depends on the type of web products we are developing and our testing schedule. When we’re ready to start an evaluation, we’ll contact you to arrange a session.
