Abstract
Come learn how to get what you need from human testing of HCI prototypes! Bring a prototype (your own or one you’ve encountered), and we’ll walk through the process in small groups: test goals (What can your prototype do or not do? What part of life is it aimed at, and who will use it? Do you need an exploratory test or do you have specific questions about error rates, usability, or task/context fit?), resource outlining (what access do you have to people, time, money, and space?), test planning (what do you need testers to do? How many times? With what differences?), and outcome anticipation (What potential results do you see, and what choices could you make in response to them?). We’ll also talk about how to adjust your testing to suit your prototype’s intended audience or users, level of fidelity, and likely difficulties you may encounter.
Biography
Dr. Chauncey received her Ph.D. in experimental psychology from Tufts University in 2009, and completed a postdoctoral fellowship in brain-computer interfaces with the National Research Council in 2011. She has extensive experience in human-machine teaming, psychometrics, psychophysiology, experimental design, and human performance measurement, and has authored numerous peer-reviewed publications and conference proceedings. Her prior research has included behavioral, psychophysiological and neurocognitive research to support human task performance in the medical, military, transportation, and financial domains, as well as in more general Human-Computer Interaction work. She currently designs and manages research in team performance support and human-AI interaction validation at Charles River Analytics.
