In the tool for managing user research, I multiselect a dozen people in the research participant pool, and then invite them by email using the template I created.

And I wait. No responses.

A day and a half later, I realise only 1 person was sent an email, because multiselect has no effect. Only the last-clicked row with the focus got an email.

Was this tested with users? 1½ days lost to usability!

How many participants do you need? One is enoug - Effortmark

If there's something factually incorrect in your website, app, survey, or form, then you only need one person to tell you.

Just conducted a small one-task #usabilitytest. Once more I'm happy, that we made the effort. Once more we were proved wrong about what's being obvious and what's not. Happy to work with a team right now, that welcomes #userresearch and replace guessing with testing and observation.
