Hallway testing is a quick and cheap method of usability testing in which randomly-selected people—e. g., those passing by in the hallway—are asked to try using [a] product or service. This can help designers identify brick walls, problems so serious that users simply cannot advance, in the early stages of a new design. 3, record 2, English, - hallway%20testing
