Verified Competencies Demonstrated by Cecilia Gorriz Hernando
By completing this curriculum to the standards of the IxDF Educational Codex, Cecilia Gorriz Hernando has demonstrated mastery of how to:
- Define usability testing, decide when to use it over related methods, and set clear usability goals.
- Make the business case for usability testing and establish it as a recurring part of the design process to embed it in a team's culture.
- Build a structured test plan grounded in linked user and business objectives, select the appropriate type of test for the situation, and capture the right metrics for the design decision at hand.
- Determine an appropriate sample size for the chosen test type, defend that number to stakeholders unfamiliar with qualitative research, and screen and recruit the ideal participants.
- Write well-formed, scenario-based test tasks using realistic, non-leading language that results in natural user behavior.
- Conduct a pilot ("dry run") test to surface and fix problems before testing with real participants.
- Moderate a usability test effectively and maintain control of a session.
- Observe without bias by keeping personal and organizational agendas out of observation.
- Analyze test results, write a concise, persuasive usability test report, and then use findings to influence and negotiate with stakeholders.
- Build user empathy and advocacy among stakeholders by having them observe live sessions firsthand.
- Decide when and how often to test, prioritizing early and iterative testing to catch issues while they are still cheap to fix.
- Avoid common data-quality traps, including over-reliance on user self-reporting and the misuse of remote tools that don't capture true metrics.
- Protect participant wellbeing and brand reputation by recognizing and avoiding "user emotion traps" so participants leave emotionally neutral.
