Emotional And Attitudinal Responses To Remote Versus Co-Located Usability Testing, Michael J. Goliber

Graduate Theses and Dissertations

Current usability testing is often conducted via face-to-face interactions. This method can be costly, both in terms of timelines and budget. However, remote usability testing has been shown to be a viable alternative, in that performance scores have been shown to be quite similar to face-to-face methods. Although performance appears similar, remote usability testing may present challenges that threaten the validity and reliability of usability testing results. Rather than focusing on the performance of users in remote versus co-located conditions, the proposed study investigates the emotional and attitudinal responses of users engaged in software usability tests. The purpose of this …
