VENDORS THAT RECRUIT PARTICIPANTS, CONDUCT USABILITY ACTIVITIES FOR YOU, AND/OR RENT FACILITIES TO YOU
Throughout the book we have mentioned vendors for a variety of purposes. Here we present the vendors available to recruit participants for you, conduct usability activities for you, and those that will rent facilities so that you can conduct your own activities. The services offered by each company vary. We do not have experience with all of these vendors. These are companies that we were able to find the most information about. They are placed in alphabetical order and it is not a complete list. You can always do a web search to find other references, but we recommend speaking with other people in the Human–Computer Interaction (HCI) industry to get recommendations. Additional usability consultants can be found on the Usability Professionals’ Association (UPA) Consultant List (www.upassoc.org/people_pages/consultants_directory/index.html).
