Early Design Testing
Early Design Testing is performed early in the development process to validate initial design decisions. It is accomplished by testing a series of screenshots or wire-frames that reflect the designer's navigation, screen design, and terminology. This methodology can include evaluating the usability of multiple designs, allowing test participants to comment about their preferences and expectations and offer suggestions for a "Best of Breed". When possible, we encourage continual enhancements to designs over the course of testing.
