The test participants are selected to be as close to the target audience as possible, so they might end up being similar to the design persona. The persona isn't used in tests, as it's more of a design tool to help inform decisions made when access to representative users isn't feasible. The test and design processes don't overlap that much, so test participants wouldn't generally know much about any project personas.<br /><br />I hope that's helped clear things up!<br /><br />Cheers, MiaMia Ridgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12076000499686655997noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5623171812488525165.post-77639573410574347792011-09-27T14:11:08.574+01:002011-09-27T14:11:08.574+01:00If the design persona is a fictional subject, are ...If the design persona is a fictional subject, are participants introduced to the persona, or have participants be selected because they are like Johanna?Gregory Marlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16334702270634854614noreply@blogger.com
