Customer Testing
“Nothing is quite so humbling as being forced to
watch in silence as some poor play-tester stumbles
around your level for 20 minutes, unable to figure
out the "obvious" answer that you now realize is
completely arbitrary and impossible to figure out.”
Customer Testing
Customer Testing: Process
1. Provide an objective
2. Observe them and their screen
1. No guidance
2. Record over their shoulder
3. Ask them to explain their thinking

Editor's Notes

  • #19: Mindset is crucial to getting value out of the Lean Startup and Experimentation Listen to your customers, give them what they want, not what they ask for Customer testing, great at validating a hypothesis and improving usability Survey's need to be open not closed.
