summary
Advocates setting clear goals, writing a test plan, and capturing measurable pass/fail criteria such as time or clicks as pass criteria so results are comparable; recruit 2–5 users per group and have observers watch multiple sessions using an observational sheet. Run a dry run to test the test, summarize immediately to summarize after each session to avoid memory bias, save all forms and context, and rerun the same test with new users to validate whether fixes actually worked.
