TEST CARD

(tool)

Brief description

The test are procedures that will reduce the risk and uncertainty of your proposed solution; it will produce evidence that supports or refutes your hypothesis. This card will help you design a good test and structure them. The test card has 4 components: hypothesis, experiment, metrics and criteria.

Quick Guide

  • Name the test, set a due date, and list the person responsible.
  • Describe the hypothesis that you want to test.
  • Outline the experiment you are going to design to verify if the hypothesis is correct or needs to be rejected and revised.
  • Define what data you are going to measure.
  • Define a target threshold to validate or invalidate the tested hypothesis.

Benefits

  • Supports communication in the team to perform test.
  • Helps you identify the hypothesis that are critical for your concept.
  • Objective approach to the process of testing.
  • Provides documentation

Helpful Tips

  • Design a series of tests for critical hypothesis.
  • Start with cheap and quick tests. Do not design the test to be too long (concentrate in what is essential).
  • If the first test invalidates your initial hypothesis, go back and rethink your idea.
