We thought the best way to explain how UserZoom works with two different prototyping tools was to implement a case study. With each tool, Axure and Just In Mind, we ran a 30 user study. The Axure study featured a low-fidelity prototype for an e-commerce company. Whereas, the Just In Mind study featured a high-fidelity prototype for a banking company, as you can see in the video Remote Prototype Testing and 'traditional' remote testing differ in that your prototype is not a live webpage, but is a hosted interactive experience for your participants in a secure testing environment.

5. Some accomplishments

6. Before we begin, let’s take a quick
poll to get to know you better…

7. What do we mean by Remote Prototype Testing?

8. Typical scenario for UX Pros
Sure we’d love to run testing, but…
 UX & Usability research tends to
be expensive
 Time is not on our side
 Target audiences are all around
 Budget issues anyone???

9. • Hundreds of users agree to participate in a study
• In their natural context
• From geographically spread locations
• Users try to complete tasks (or goals) + answer questions
• No human moderation needed
• Our browser bar connects users’ browsers with a server
Remote Unmoderated Testing
What we mean by Remote Prototype Testing

10. What you can test with Remote Prototype Testing
 Of course, low and
high fidelity
wireframes/prototypes
…but also:
 Mock-ups
 Images
 Multimedia

11. Advantages and benefits or Remote Prototype Testing

12. Advantages and benefits
 Cost-effective

13. Advantages and benefits
 Quick, agile

28. Examples of Prototyping Tools

29. Case Study Explanation
• With each tool, Axure and Just In Mind, we ran a 30 user
remote usability study
• The Axure study featured a low-fidelity prototype for an
e-commerce company
• The Just In Mind study featured a high-fidelity prototype
for a banking company
• Both vendors generate hosted, trackable prototypes

45. Some takeaways…
1. You don’t need a live website to run remote testing
2. Many benefits to remote prototype testing, including reduced
costs, speed, etc.
3. Remote Prototype Testing in Agile Dev: A great fit!
4. There are various types of remote testing projects, not just
remote usability, when developing prototypes
5. Make sure the tool used generates trackable prototypes
6. The detailed of the data collected is AWESOME and very
actionable, plus you can do iterative testing too!
