Can development teams do rapid user satisfaction testing themselves?This would be called a focus group or simply emailing survey questions. You know how good those are and how long they take to assemble. They tell you what you want to hear. Teams sometimes try to do testing themselves by using in-house staff (hardly unbiased) but…

http://uxmovement.com/thinking/myers-briggs-personality-types-of-designers/ I am INFP (dominant) or INFJ (subordinate). I can role play ENFP (teacher) with high taxation on my energy levels. I’m well suited for the UX work. I’ve been immersing in UX and in particular “Rapid User Satisfaction Feedback” which is essential for “agile” web development (team projects). Agile project management improves web project…

I have yet to see a satisfaction survey site that made me want to get out my wallet or give it a try. They are usually charging by the month or by the test or by the project. And the offer is just extremely boring. None of them make me go “cool! gimmee!” Most have…

I’ve read Jacob Nielsen’s stuff and watched video interviews with him, etc. I agree with much of his philosophy and he is intelligent but he is so militantly anti-design (prejudiced?) that I –like other User Experience (UX) pros– find him an obnoxious snob. He’s been preaching usability for decades now. I’ve seen UX slide shows…

1) Agile development is feedback driven. 2) Development teams need to keep testing quick, simple, and frequent. 3) Agile UX must be flexible. It must respond to end user feedback and market changes in one iteration (one week). That is what ScreenZest provides for them. It is better than other methods of user validation like…
