Week 17 report - 2024
Disclaimer: Like I stated from last week's report, an invitation will be going to those who are subscribing this newsletter. But there is a test for you! Please contact john@padocorp.com for the task :P
Phew! We finished our UT for v0.3 of TalkToDART and it has been hell of a ride. I always have fun testing users but it drains a lot of energy. I recruited testers about 4 days before the UT and screened them to make sure they were on point with our bullseye customer.
Recruiting testers via LinkedIn and value investing Naver Cafe
The testers were allocated to time slots from 10AM to 4PM.
In the meantime, I studied about how to conduct a good research before going into action. I recommend this video by Michael Margolis, a UX Research Partner at Google Ventures.
It's really pure gold
Test day came and I greeted testers and sat by them and started asking questions and eventually came to our product, which Michael indicates that it should called a "prototype" so testers can be more critical.
Tests went well. I learned really a ton. I have been wondering about a lot of other stuff lately, but I realized again that my heart is spending time with users.
Now, we retrospected upon the test and started designing version 0.4 of TalkToDART. It's confidential at the moment but we'll be able to release it before the open beta test on May 20th.
