When I first started out I was designing interactive pieces for the news and they would be seen by millions of viewers in a matter of hours. The pressure was on so it started to became important that we test things out to make sure people understood how to use the interface. We'd share links around the office and exchange comments but there there was one sure way I could test my designs...
The Mom Test
Of course your mom will never say anything bad about your design but it's not so much what she says, it's what she does with the design. If mom could do it then anyone could and her 800 x 600px monitor on her PC was how the world would see things.
This test is still relevant today as I share designs and look for users to test them I will often go to mom. So here's to moms everywhere.
Thanks Mom!
