We had an empty room. We wanted a usability lab. So here’s what we did.

Requirements:

• It needed to be mobile. (The room wasn’t mine to commandeer)
• The set up needed to be fuss free. (I don’t want to trip on a labyrinth of wires)
• It has to work seamlessly with Android, Windows and Apple devices. (Duh!)
• Cost effective. (Can’t break the bank)
• Observers can watch the test live. (Nothing beats instant feedback)

First, RESEARCH!

Reinventing the wheel is just not the best way to get things done so I went googling articles and blog posts to find out how other companies have built their usability lab.

There was this really helpful article I found which shared the following set up:

It was an awesome starting point. I also found the chance to pick the brains of other practitioners in the field and learnt that Lookback (https://lookback.io/), while a hot favourite, has started charging for their software.

Graduation is the term used when we receive our academic qualifications, usually for tertiary education such as attaining a Diploma or Degree. Here at Titansoft, we too use the term ‘graduate’ when referring to our staff who leaves our organization for any reason.

“I got access to a computer at the age of 13 and that was the very first attempt in writing a logo program.” – Vignesh

1. Tell us more about how you came into the world of software development?

It all started when I was in school and I had to make the decision on the stream that I wanted to go to. Having a choice between Computer science, Biology, Biotechnology and Commerce, I obviously didn’t want to be in the Biology class as it is usually 80% filled with girls. All along I was interested in computer science and I believe that I can do well in it! It was a challenge for me when I had to apply to NUS especially when I am from India, there was a lower possibility for me to get accepted. Thankfully, I got into NUS Computer Science and had no regrets choosing it! To be able to see that something I have built runs the way that I want it to be, gives me a huge sense of satisfaction! There is nothing more than writing a piece of code that gives me a huge sense of satisfaction and achievement to keep me going.
