[IxDA Discuss] U-testing paper prototype Forms

[Damon van Vessem]

Hello,

I'm going to run some usability tests on HTML forms. I'm considering  
using paper prototypes and have people fill in the fields with a pen,  
selecting items from dropdown lists laid down by the facilitator, etc.

Does anyone have experience / research findings of how this would  
compare to people filling out the same form online (HTML)? Does the  
act of writing on paper skew the results?

(I realise there are several aspects that could not be tested, such as  
copying contents between fields, browser pre-fills, tab-sequences, etc)

Thanks
Damon
