bet they are a no show... I usual get 5% non shows..

do you pay them or offer reward?

Tuna 5%. That means 1 in 20. Do you test with 20 ppl?

Mid size, over a project about 7 sessions of 6, 42 peeps or so.. for various stages. Lots of on the fly minor corrections to reduce turnrd

oh, for diff stages. that's good. I'd bore myself stupid with 20 participants

usually 2-3 are no shows.. These are of the street peeps usually.

and of course usability testing is all about me...NOT

might do 20 with a final stage, but that would be if its got show stopper after round one. rare to go to 3 rounds I find

What is this strange concept of asking users what they want and making software usable? That will never catch on

zuzu yes we do pay them to cover their time and expenses.

Tuna I've only had one no-show for the past 11 months. Not a bad hit rate

ruthellison are you selecting for public facing, using green participants
