A Web-based User Experience Testing Environment for Small Design Firms

Many design firms within fast-paced environment would easily ignore the importance of user-centered design mainly because of their limit of time and access to users. This thesis would try to propose a new way of finding right user sample groups and establish a framework that enable designers to reach their target users quickly and easily. By searching keywords and adding features of users' information, designers can easily reach their target users in regardless of their limitations. On the other hand, users can create their personal profiles, receive fresh design ideas and new design product rewards if they attend user tests. Both users and designers can bring in information to the pool and take away what they find useful. Therefore, it is called a content management system with collaborative components.
