    • Show, Don’t Describe
    • Focus Your Prototype on Features that You’d to Test / Get Feedback On
    • Specify the Character Profile you’d like to test
  • Create a Testing Plan / Protocol
    • Write down 2 questions that would be useful to receive feedback on.
  • Testing Sessions — 4 sessions @ 3 minutes
