"When you come to a fork in the road, take it." - Yogi Berra
Once you’ve we’ve constructed one or more trees to test, and come up with a list of the tasks you’d we’d like your our users to try, we should take time to pause and congratulate yourself ourselves – most of the heavy lifting is done.
Now you we need to turn this raw material into an actual test that you we can run with users. Luckily, the tools now available make this a fairly straightforward process, as well as offering a raft of handy options to tailor the test to your our needs.
In this chapter, we’ll cover how to get your a test set up, and which of those options you we should choose when.
- rethink the order of topics (they currently just follow the TJ setup tabs)
- check other tools for more setup tasks
- make all xrefs specific (e.g. a section in a chapter)
standardise on “we” (more inclusive)
