Early Formative Testing Strategies for User-Driven IFU Development by Valerie Gernazian, Abhi Pandey, & Alex Hummel
Monday, March 25, 4:45pm - 6:15pm CDT, Salon C
Late discovery of Instructions For Use (IFU) issues in product development cycles poses challenges, particularly when UI design components are locked. To mitigate this, early and iterative usability testing with real device users is crucial for identifying and addressing IFU usability issues before validation testing. By incorporating real-world simulated use scenarios alongside knowledge tasks, manufacturers can proactively optimize IFUs, ensuring user comprehension and reducing use-related hazards. Learn more>>
