I've always shrugged off the fact that usability tests happen under rather artificial conditions, whether in the lab or remotely. I figure if the moderator is good and the test script is solid, we can use sophisticated analysis techniques to smooth out any biases introduced by the test environment itself. That said, I think the idea of catching users "in the act" is absolutely fascinating, if not fraught with challenges: Planning would be tricky; Getting test subjects to cooperate/behave under real-life conditions; Real-time moderating could be mind-bogglingly difficult if user is distracted or multitasking. Still, I'd love to hear more about this concept of Live Recruiting. I look forward to reading your book. This is one of the more eye-opening posts I’ve seen regarding user testing.
