Subjects in Tandem

...and now for another Human Factors Minute! Subjects-in-tandem, also known as "Co-Discovery" is a methodology employed where two subjects are asked to work concurrently on a series of tasks while vocalizing their analytical observations. Using this technique, participants can feed off of each other's comments to generate a richer set of observations than is normally possible with the participants interacting separately. Another benefit to this methodology is that having two people work together on a collaborative problem, can be more natural for the users, and may better reflect the end user operating environment. This process is usually recorded so that researchers can go and perform post hoc analyses. The participants feedback is observed by the researcher, and can be used to discover usability difficulties that involve multiple users interacting with a product at once.
