Usability testing

[absalom]

Don't know if it'd go here or in Site Critiques (it's more visual mockups for behaviour at the moment instead of an entire site architecture) but I'm running two live usability tests I need feedback on.

Major issue with fiveseconds is the lack of pre qualification of the testing audience.

For example you can get a test being done by a non dog owner for a dog owner site in Japanese. As I don't read Japanese my test results are meaning less.

All this test proves is memory skills of the audience. I wouldn't put much value on it.

I know. It's still good enough for what I want to do.

I need some raw aggregate data to show that the designs are actually going in the right direction, even if they're just rough concepts/mockups at the moment. That means quantitative data, not necessarily qualitative data. Once I confirm direction is ok, then we engage qualitative research.
