Why Testing With Certified Idiots Works!
Usability evaluation and testing is the analysis of the design of software,
a product or system in order to evaluate the match between end users and
a product. Often usability evaluation and testing is a dynamic process
throughout the life cycle of software, or product and over time can incur
major costs.
Unlike traditional software and product testing that rely on heuristic
methodologies, RentAnIdiot utilizes certified idiots, who through careful
selection and training, out perform simulated end user testing.
These superior results are achieved by providing real certified
idiots who are capable of producing user errors, system failures and general
clue less responses that no conventional testing is capable of replicating.
When a company claims that a product is manufactured to CIR-100,
the agreed interpretation is that the product has been designed, to the
best capabilities of the company, in
accordance with the relevant design and/or performance Standard. Recently
we tested graduation gowns for a national manufacture to confirm that
they would comply with a new fire retardant regulation, which is to phased
in by 2006. These testing procedures utilized one hundred certified idiots,
manly males between 18-25** who tested the
garments using a wide range of accelerants. Once the testing phase was
conclude, it was determined that the gown pockets needed to be re-enforced
to withstand burning joints and smoldering crack pipes, that the average
college user would occasionally leave there.
Conclusion: Once these modifications were complete, this garment was
certified to the CIR-100 standard.
** Note: Generally females in this age range
are smarter.
