歡迎回到 商務英語播客 今天的課程 項目管理英語and launching user testing for a software project.
At the heart of every software project is the user. If the user finds the software confusing, or if it doesn’t do what the user needs it to do, what’s the point? 為此原因, user testing is an essential part of the development process.
User testing can involve a range of activities. You might watch how users interact with the software. You might track or monitor how they use it. And you might ask them for their opinions. 這樣, you collect information and feedback that helps you create the best user experience possible. And just as the software itself needs to be user friendly, so does user testing. If people don’t have a clear idea of what they’re supposed to do during testing, you’ll be wasting an opportunity.
So when you launch testing, it’s important to outline what you’re going to be doing, and what kind of feedback you’re interested in. Because the software is new to the test users, you’ll need to give them clear instructions on how to use it and give them an overview of the main features. You might also find yourself emphasizing key points along the way. 畢竟, it’s much easier to make sure everyone understands upfront than to deal with confused users during testing.
在今天的對話中, 我們會聽到吉爾, a developer with a software company called OptiTech. They’ve been developing software for a logistics company, and now they are ready to launch the first round of user testing. We’ll also hear Liam, 客戶的IT經理, and Carla, one of the test users.

歡迎回到 技能 360for today’s lesson on how to connect with your audience while you’re actually delivering your presentation.
It’s easy to leave your connection with the audience to chance. 我的意思是, 您可能認為進行演示應該是傳達訊息,而不是與觀眾“聯繫”. 但我向你保證, 無論你的訊息是什麼, 如果你與聽眾有良好的聯繫,你會更成功地傳達它. 這種聯繫並非偶然發生. 你必須努力.
