We looked for three users who would be representative of our target user population. Our target user population was users in the 18-30 age range who felt comfortable using computers to surf the Internet or do work.

Briefing

Our application is Wishdex.com, a site that helps you keep wishlists. You can keep track of items you find online, show your friends and family gifts you want for Christmas or your birthday, and see what your friends are interested in or check out popular items on the site. We're doing this test to get some feedback on how well we've designed the user interface. There are probably a lot of problems with the design, and we need help finding them. Keep in mind that we're testing the computer system, not you. Also, the results of this test will be kept completely confidential, and you can stop and leave the test at any time. My name is Susie, and I'll be reading out the tasks we want you to perform. This is Emily, and she'll be taking some notes to help us remember the problems we find.
