Mobile tech assistance
Last Updated:
Conducting usability testing on mobile devices is a top priority for the VA since many Veterans use mobile devices to access VA.gov. This section provides instructions for researchers conducting remote moderated research to help participants share their mobile screens.
Users can install Zoom on their phones or use the "laptop hugging method."
Perigean can recruit mobile users for you. Be sure to meet with Perigean folks before sessions to make sure everyone understands the process and that Perigean knows how to coach users and help solve technical issues.
Be prepared to walk through the technical setup for mobile (or any) testing with a Veteran if they haven't figured out the proper setup before the call begins.
Refer to this guide to learn how to use zoom for user research.
