User research method Purpose
Usability evaluation If you have evaluated the usability of the application since stage one, consider
repeating the goal-based tasks. During this stage you can focus on identifying how
the visual design impacts the tasks.
Comparative tests of icons These tests can help to identify the visual elements that users respond to positively.
Best practice: Incorporating visual design
Consider the following guidelines:
• Track the emotional responses that users have to the application and specific elements within the application.
• Design visual resources that scale to accommodate different screen sizes.
• Avoid changing the default font size. If you change the default font size, test the change on all BlackBerry devices that
you are designing the application for.
• Verify the layout of each screen on each device that you are designing for.
