Auckland UPA - User testing extravaganza
After the success of our Interactionary last session (thanks Peter), here is another session where you get to be part of the fun and learning.
We're going to be testing a New Zealand e-commerce website and YOU (our lovely attendees) get to define tasks, watch the testing and identify usability issues.
Miriam Walker and Stephanie Creasy are going to be running the evening. Miriam is a usability consultant with Shift and Steph is a very talented designer who's returned to the NZ job market after leading a team of designers in London and freelancing in New Zealand.
We hope to have a guest speaker to top things off so keep tuned for updates.
