IWIPS- The International Workshop on Internationalisation of Products and SystemsTitle:
Modeling ‘Designer – Tester – Subject’ Relationships in International Usability TestingAuthor:
Murphy, J.Abstract:
In the case of the design of international products…there are a number of complicating factors that inhibit effective usability testing. Not only must the communication gap between product designers and product users be addressed, but also in conducting usability testing the communication and physical distance between the usability test designer and the test subject must be considered. This essay uses a case study of international usability testing conducted across five countries in five different regions of the world to define a number of models of usability testing based on relationships between the designer, tester and subject of the testing.Original publication:
